Saadi Gaddafi’s Family Plans Int’l Lawsuit to Release him
[AAWSAT] The family of slain former Libyan leader Muammar Qadaffy...The late megalomaniac dictator of Libya, admired everywhere for his garish costumes, funny hats, harem of cutie bodyguards, and incoherent ravings. As far as is known, he is the only person who's ever declared jihad on Switzerland... has warned that it would file lawsuits locally and internationally to press for the release of his third son Saadi, accusing the parties detaining him of torture. In April last year, Tripoli ...a confusing city, one end of which is located in Lebanon and the other end of which is the capital of Libya. Its chief distinction is being mentioned in the Marine Hymn... 's court of appeals acquitted Saadi Qadaffy of murdering Bashir al-Rayani, a former footballer and coach of Tripoli's al-Ittihad football club, in 2005. Since his extradition from Niger in March 2014, Saadi has been held in al-Hadaba prison in the Libyan capital Tripoli. His family said in a statement carried by the pro-Qadaffy Jana news agency that it would "file the lawsuits against all those involved in Saadi’s incarceration and his torture despite being acquitted by the court." It claimed that Saadi’s captors denied him the appropriate medical care, putting his life in danger. The family urged the international community and human rights ...which are often intentionally defined so widely as to be meaningless... officials to assume their legal and moral responsibilities against those who have "lost their conscience" and continued to "torture" Saadi Qadaffy despite his acquittal. Al-Hadaba is among the most notorious prisons in Libya where thousands of prisoners, including former regime figures, are held. A source close to the Qadaffy family told Asharq al-Awsat that several lawyers have been tasked with filing the lawsuits against a "long list of personalities who will be accused of involvement in torturing Saadi and denying him freedom."
