'Chemical Ali' death

'Chemical Ali', a cousin of the late Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein, has been sentenced to death by an Iraqi court for the mass murder of Kurds in 1988. Ali Hassan al-Majid was convicted of genocide for using poison gas in the Anfal campaign in 1988. About 180,000 Kurd civilians died in this campaign, according to prosecutors.

This guy is guilty. The trial was a formality. Having said that, what should the punishment be? Generally, I am against the death penalty but this guy would be the exception. The best solution would have been a trial at The Hague but Iraqis needed to deal with these themselves. So, Yes, I do agree that the death penalty is right for this man and yes justice has been served.
