Libyan Court Defers Abdullah Al-Senussi Trial
|
[LIBYAREVIEW] The trial of former Libyan Intelligence Chief, Abdullah al-Senussi has been deferred to a session slated for 7 August, as reported by al-Senussi’s lawyer, Ahmed Nashad.
Nashad elaborated that the court session commenced at 1 pm, and was presided over by the head of the department. However,
if you can't be a good example, then you'll just have to be a horrible warning...
two consultants were absent, the representative of the Libyan Public Prosecution did not attend, and the court’s decision to summon al-Senussi to the session was not executed.
Nashad further stated, "It is the right of my client to be acquitted of the charges levelled against him, as they lack a legal basis. This is clear from the appeal court’s ruling at the Supreme Court, which sent back the case to the 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...
Criminal Court, after its previous ruling against him."
He noted that the trial period for his client spanned two years (2014 and 2015), before the criminal department at the Tripoli Appeals Court. The sessions were held at al-Hadba Prison, and concluded with a conviction against him and others.
Nashad commented, "In our defence before the Tripoli Appeal, which lasted more than 4.5 hours, we presented all evidence that refutes the allegations, and confirms al-Senussi’s innocence of the charges brought by the Public Prosecution."
The lawyer indicated that "despite all this, the court had a different viewpoint, leading to its ruling, which has been proven erroneous. The case was returned to the Tripoli Criminal Court to be examined by another body, in case of conviction before the Tripoli Criminal Court." They plan to appeal the ruling before the Supreme Court to have it annulled, as was done with the previous ruling.
Regarding the charges directed at his client, Nashad observed, "The Public Prosecution has the belief that al-Senussi is responsible for all that has happened in the country. They even think he could be asked about the reason for the passage of migratory birds in the country’s skies and their numbers."
In 2015, a death sentence
 ...the barbaric practice of sentencing a murderer to be punished for as long as his/her/its victim is dead...
was issued against al-Senussi in the case of the Abu Salim prison massacre, one of several cases being considered by the judiciary against him.
