Breaking: Gaddafi’s Son, Saif al-Islam Released From Death Row In Libya

Muammar Gaddafi’s British-educated son was released from death row in Libya earlier this year and now appears to be at large even though he faces charges at the International Criminal Court (ICC) for crimes against humanity. 

Saif al-Islam Gaddafi, the ousted dictator’s most prominent son, was sentenced to die by firing squad last year after being found guilty of war crimes and was thought to be in prison in the western city of Zintan.

It has now emerged he was in fact released in April and his whereabouts are unknown.

A document apparently from Libya’s temporary ministry of justice ordered his release under an amnesty law following appeals by elders from the Gaddafi tribe.
