A court in Libya has sentenced Col. Muammar Gaddafi’s son, Saif
al-Islam, and eight others to death over war crimes linked to the 2011
revolution. More than 30 close associates of the deposed leader were on
trial, accused of suppressing protests during the uprising.
Saif al-Islam was not present in court and gave evidence via video
link. He is currently being held by a former rebel group from the town
of Zintan that refuses to hand him over.
Abdullah al-Senussi, the former head of intelligence for the Gaddafi
regime, is among those also facing the death penalty, as is former PM
Baghdadi al-Mahmoudi.
