Libya trial: Gaddafi son sentenced to death over war crimes

Source: BBC

A court in Libya has sentenced Saif al-Islam Gaddafi, son of deposed leader Col Muammar Gaddafi, and eight others to death over war crimes linked to the 2011 revolution.

More than 30 close associates of Col Gaddafi were tried for suppressing peaceful 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.

called "suppressing peaceful protests during the uprising."



Remember that the genocide of black Libyans and black foreign workers(Many from Nigeria) would be forgiven by the western backed terrorist govt.

What we did to Libya should be considered a crime against humanity. But its never called that when western overlords are oppressing brown people.
