'Gaddafi's Son May Face Execution after Show Trial in Libya' - Lawyer


Nearly two years after Muammar Gaddafi was overthrown and killed in Libya - his son, Saif al-Islam, is yet to stand trial for alleged war crimes committed during the 2011 uprising. He's set for a hearing in Libya in August - but International Criminal Court judges fear he won't receive a fair trial there. Libya is meanwhile defying an ICC ruling by refusing to hand him over to the Hague, insisting on trial at home.
