"This is one witness's account: "On several occasions I saw Qusay Saddam Hussein walk along the row of cells, open the slot in the door and spray what I believe to be something like mustard gas into the cell. . .
The bodies of the dead were bloated by the gas. They foamed at the mouth and were bleeding from the eyes. The whole process only took about 10 minutes.
"Then another 10 prisoners were brought into the death cells. The prisoners were screaming. I remember one of them was only 12 years old. I remember Qusay shouting something like: 'Put this bastard in - he's a member of the X family.'
"The little boy was screaming. He was already bleeding from previous beatings.
Qusay killed him along with the others. The little boy screamed: 'I am sorry. I don't want to die. I want my father.'
"Qusay said: 'Your father is in the cell next door, ' which was true. Qusay then proceeded to spray him with gas and he died after about 10 minutes of agony. We could hear them screaming."
I HAVE been involved with human rights in Iraq for more than 25 years but I am still shocked by the accounts that I hear.
