- Rauf Rashid Abd al-Rahman
Rauf Rashid Abd al-Rahman ( _ar. رؤوف رشيد عبد الرحمن) was the replacement chief judge of the Supreme Iraqi Criminal Tribunal's Al-Dujail trial of Saddam Hussein in 2006.
Rahman is an ethnic Kurd from Halabja, the site of the 1988 Halabja poison gas attack.
After Amin's resignation, Rahman headed the Supreme Iraqi Criminal Tribunal during the rest of the trial of Saddam Hussein for genocide, and when it sentenced him to death.
In December 2006, al-Rahman took his family to Britain on a travel visa, and three months later applied for asylum.
