Prisoner or free man? Mystery surrounds Qadhafi's son Seif
2018-04-03
[DAWN] Nearly a year after a Libyan militia announced it had set free the son and heir apparent of slain dictator Moamer Qadaffy, the fate of Seif al-Islam remains a mystery.

His reported release from detention by the Abu Bakr al-Sadiq Brigade which once controlled the town of Zintan in western Libya has never been confirmed and has fuelled wild rumours.

While some insist he is still somewhere in Zintan, others claim Seif is dead.

One thing, however, is certain: he has not been seen or heard of since June 2014 when he appeared via video from Zintan during his trial by a Tripoli

court.

And now Seif is back in the news, after La Belle France's former president Nicolas Sarkozy

was charged in Gay Paree with financing his 2007 election campaign with money from Qadaffy.

In a 2011 interview with the Euronews television network, Seif said Sarkozy must "give back the money he took from Libya to finance his electoral campaign".

The International Criminal Court (ICC) is in a legal tug-of-war with Libyan authorities to transfer Seif to The Hague, where he is wanted for crimes against humanity including murder.
