saadoun sughaiyer al-janabi

known as a defence attorney during the hussein trials , saadoun antar nassif al-janabi was one of two lawyers representing awad hamed al-bandar .
he was the head of defense team in the trial .
ten masked gunmen wearing iraqi police uniforms abducted al-janabi , who was reportedly cooperative , from the office in his baghdad home on october 20 , 2005 , one day after the trial began .
his body was recovered outside an ur mosque the following day with two gunshots to the head .
dheyaa al-saadi , a lawyer who the following year led the iraqi bar association , criticised the assassination , stating `` this will have grave repercussions .
this will hinder lawyers from defending those held for political reasons . ''
