Libya: Seif Al-Islam Qaddafi to be tried, verdict before mid-June

TRIPOLI, Libya: Libyan officials say Muammar Qaddafi’s son and former heir-apparent Seif Al-Islam will be put on trial inside Libya and there will be a verdict before mid-June.

Spokesman of the ruling National Transitional Council Mohammed Al-Hareizi said Monday Seif Al-Islam will be transferred to the capital Tripoli within 10 days and that his trial will conclude before parliamentary elections scheduled two months from now.

Seif Al-Islam was captured by revolutionary fighters in the southern desert of Libya in November.

Al-Hareizi says he will be tried on charges of murder, corruption and rape dating from his late father’s 42-year-rule.

Rights groups have urged Libyan authorities to hand over Seif Al-Islam to the International Criminal Court in The Hague for trial.
