Wide shot of defendants STORYLINE: Saddam Hussein announced in court that he was on hunger strike to protest against the tough stand taken by the chief judge in a heated start on Tuesday to the latest session of his trial. The former Iraqi leader shouted his support for Iraqi insurgents, yelling "Long live the mujahedeen," as he entered the courtroom and immediately began shouting with with chief judge Raouf Abdel-Rahman. Saddam told Abdel-Rahman that he and his co-defendants had been on hunger strike for three days to protest their treatment. Abdel-Rahman on Monday ordered the eight defendants to attend the court despite a boycott by their original defence team. Saddam's top co-defendant Barzan Ibrahim al-Tikriti entered wearing long underwear for the second day to purportedly to signal his rejection of the court. The session immediately saw heated exchanges between Saddam and Abdel-Rahman, who rebuked the former Iraqi leader for not standing when he addressed the court. When the judge banged his gavel, Saddam - dressed in a dark suit - retorted, "Hit your own head with that gavel." Barzan shouted "Long live the Baath" as he made his entrance to the court. Barzan, Saddam's half brother and former intelligence chief, wore a similar outfit on Monday when the chief judge forced all eight defendants in the case to attend the session despite a defence boycott. Barzan and Saddam did not mention whether they were attending Tuesday's session against their will. Prosecutors are trying to prove Saddam's role in a wave of arrests and executions that followed a 1982 attempt on his life in the Shiite village of Dujail. Twenty-six prosecution witnesses have testified since the Saddam trial began October 19, many providing accounts of torture and imprisonment in the crackdown, but they could not directly pin them on Saddam. Saddam and his seven co-defendants are on trial in the killing of nearly 150 Shiite Muslims in Dujail. If convicted, they could face the death penalty by hanging.
