Tarek al-Hashimi - Vice President of Iraq
Stephen Sackur speaks to Tarek al-Hashimi, Iraq's vice president, who is currently on trial in absentia.
Tarek al-Hashimi is in a very strange position: he is Iraq's vice president but right now he is a de facto fugitive in Turkey. He is being tried in absentia on charges of sponsoring death squads inside Iraq.
The conflict in Syria is fuelling sectarian tension across the Middle East.
In neighbouring Iraq a political and security crisis has deepened in the last year.
