Saif Al Islam Gaddafi After Capture

Saif Al Islam Gaddafi was taken captive by the Zintan rebels over one month ago. He has developed gangrene in his injured hand where his fingers were severed and bones shattered and requires immediate surgery.

Further, he is denied access to his legal counsel.

The ICRC refuse to discuss his condition with either his immediate family or his legal counsel. These are clear violations of International law.

Saif Al Islam is at immanent risk of execution.

The following document is the Gaddafi family’s initial response to the ICC charges against Saif Al Islam and Abdullah Al Senussi:

LIBYA’S RESPONSE TO THE ICC’S ISSUANCE OF ARREST WARRANTS – OFFICIAL LETTER TO THE INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL COURT

The following chronicles one of the the current efforts of the Gaddafi family to protect Saif Al Islam Gaddafi. This will be be updated soon.:

THE GADDAFI FAMILY TAKE LEGAL ACTION TO PROTECT SAIF AL ISLAM

Recent updates pertaining to Saif Al Islam Gaddafi’s status can be found at these links and more will be added over the next few days:
