A court in Libya has sentenced Col Muammar Gaddafi’s son, Saif al-Islam, and eight others to death over war crimes linked to the 2011 revolution.
More than 30 close associates of the deposed leader were on
trial, accused of suppressing protests during the uprising.
Saif al-Islam was not present in court and gave evidence via
video link.
He is being held by a former rebel group from the town of
Zintan that refuses to hand him over.
Former head of intelligence for the Gaddafi regime, Abdullah
al-Senussi, is among those also facing the death penalty.
