A trial over Saif Al-Islam,son of former Libyan leader Moammer Gaddafi is planned to start in the Libyan city of Zintan in Sebtember 2012.Initially, it was planned that he would be trialed in Tripoli.
In November, a detachment of Libyan rebels detained Saif al-Islam in the south of the country, from where he attempted to flee to Niger. Recently, Libya’s current authorities persuaded the commanders of this detachment to extradite Gaddafi’s son to them. Now, he is in a prison in Zindan.
Saif al-Islam is charged with giving orders to shoot at rebels during the Libyan revolution. If his guilt is proven, he may face a death penalty.
