Tariq Aziz, born Mikhail Yuhanna, baptized Manuel Christo; 28 April 1936 – 5 June 2015) was Iraqi Foreign Minister (1983–1991) and Deputy Prime Minister (1979–2003) and a close advisor of President Saddam Hussein. Their association began in the 1950s when both were activists for the then-banned Ba'ath Party. Although he was an Arab Nationalist he was in fact an ethnic Chaldean, and a member of the Chaldean Catholic Church.[1][2][3]

He died in an Iraqi prison after 12 years of shameful treatment and medical neglect at the hands of the western sponsored government that was installed following the 2003 Iraq war
