Saif al Islam and Abdullah al-Senussi are among other
Gaddafi regime officials who will stand trial in August for crimes
committed during the 2011 revolution, an aide to the prosecutor said on
Monday.
The trials are set to take place in the first half of August, Al-Seddik Al-Sur said, a member of the prosecutor’s office.
Libya’s last Prime Minister to serve under Gaddafi, Baghdadi al-Mahmudi, and Mansur Daw who headed the People’s Guard are also set to stand trial in two months time.
The four ex-officials are set to stand trial together, due to their joint involvement in atrocities against the Libyan people.
“This case will not be divided,” al-Sur said.
“These (former) officials met together to drum up a policy of repression and a common criminal plan, putting them on trial separately would perturbate the proceedings,” he said.
Seif al-Islam, 40, is being held by a brigade of former rebel fighters in Zintan, 180 kilometres south-west of Tripoli, since his capture in November 2011.
The International Criminal Court based in The Hague, has continually pressed Libya to hand over Senussi and Saif al-Islam, due to an arrest warrant that was put out for their crimes against humanity.
Last week the ICC suspended an order requiring Tripoli to hand over Senussi.
