Gaddafi's Son Facing Gallows in Libya: Lawyer

ABC NEWS: Moamar Gaddafi's son Saif al-Islam will be hanged if he is tried in Libya, his Australian lawyer has told International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague.

While the ICC wants Saif, the only son of the slain Libyan leader in custody, to be tried in The Hague, Libya's post-revolutionary authorities insist he should stand trial in his home country.

Libya's lawyers told a three-judge bench the country had enough evidence to charge Saif with crimes against humanity, committed when Gaddafi and his loyalists tried to put down Libya's bloody revolution last year. » | AFP | Thursday, October 11, 2012
