| 2012-06-09 |
| [An Nahar] Tunisia's decision to extradite Libya's former prime minister Baghdadi al-Mahmoudi back to his home country is definitive, Prime Minister Hamadi Jebali told Agence La Belle France Presse on Friday. "The decision to hand over Mr. Mahmoudi is irrevocable," he said, without providing a date for the extradition of the former premier, a stalwart of slain Libyan leader Muammar Qadaffy ...whose instability was an inspiration to dictators everywhere, but whose end couldn't possibly happen to them... 's fallen regime. Lawyers for Mahmoudi, who was placed in long-term storage Yez got nuttin' on me, coppers! Nuttin'! in September, and rights groups have argued he will be executed if he returns to Libya, where a February 2011 uprising ended more than four decades of Qadaffy's dictatorship. Libyan authorities have guaranteed that former premier will get a fair trial, meeting Tunisia's final condition for his extradition, the Tunisian president's office said last month. |
