Seif Al-islam

Nearly a year after a Libyan militia announced it had set free the son and heir apparent of slain dictator Moamer Kadhafi, the fate of Seif al-Islam remains a mystery.

An armed group in Libya said on Facebook Saturday it has freed Seif al-Islam, the son of dead dictator Muammar Gaddafi who has been in custody since November 2011.

Appeals judges reaffirmed Wednesday that a case against the son of the country's former dictator, Muammar Gaddafi, for alleged crimes against humanity can proceed at the International Criminal Court.

The Libyan government must surrender the son and onetime heir-apparent of slain dictator Moammar Gadhafi to the International Criminal Court despite its appeal of the handover and legal proceedings under way in Libya, the court's prosecutor said Tuesday.

A Libyan court said on Sunday that it would appoint a lawyer for slain dictator Moamer Gadhafi's son Seif al-Islam after he insisted in a controversial hearing by video link that "God is my counsel."

Libya's official news agency says that the son of dictator Moammar Gadhafi and others have appeared by video conferencing for a trial in the capital, Tripoli.

The Libyan government has formally challenged the International Criminal Court's right to try Moammar Gaddafi's son for war crimes, arguing that he should be tried in Libya despite concerns he may not receive a fair trial there.

The International Criminal Court (ICC) again rejected on Wednesday attempts by Libya to delay handing over one of former Dictator Moammar Gaddafi's sons, who is wanted for trial. Judges unanimously dismissed Libya's latest appeal against the court's order to surrender Seif al-Islam Gaddafi for trial on charges of murdering and persecuting civilian...

The chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC) Luis Moreno-Ocampo says Libya has evidence linking a son of deposed ruler Moammar Gaddafi to recruiting mercenaries and executing people. Mr Ocampo told The Associated Press on Thursday that Libyan prosecutors have evidence backing the court's reports that Seif al-Islam Gaddafi supervis...

The Libyan information minister has said that Moammar Gaddafi's son and one-time heir apparent will be tried at home and will not be handed over to the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague

Moammar Gaddafi's son Seif al-Islam - the only member of the ousted ruling family to remain at large - was captured as he travelled with aides in a convoy in Libya's southern desert, Libyan officials said Saturday. Thunderous celebratory gunfire shook the Libyan capital as the news spread.

The International Criminal Court is in indirect negotiations with a son of the late Libyan leader Moammar Gaddafi about his possible surrender for trial, the chief prosecutor said on Friday.

The International Criminal Court prosecutor is seeking Interpol's help in arresting fugitive Libyan dictator Moammar Gaddafi. Luis Moreno-Ocampo is asking the international police organization to issue so-called "red notices" for Gaddafi and says arresting him is a "matter of time."

World leaders were to meet in Paris today to plot Libya's post-Gaddafi future, as one of the fugitive dictator's sons pledged that loyalists would fight their rebel enemies to the death.

The son and heir apparent of Libyan leader Moammar Gaddafi, Seif al-Islam, resurfaced free and defiant early on Tuesday, a day after rebels claimed to have captured him, boasting in a bizarre reappearance that his father's loyalists still control parts of Tripoli and would crush the rebellion.
