Editor Of Libya 360° and Viva Libya!

We Demand Saif Al Islam Gaddafi’s Immediate Transfer To The International Criminal Court

We the people of the International Community demand that The International Criminal Court, The United Nations, The African Court Of Human And People’s Rights, The World Governments, International Human Rights Organizations and The Libyan Government, ensure that the rights of Saif Al Islam Qadhafi are upheld in full compliance with International norms and that there be prompt intervention to protect Saif Al Islam Qadhafi from irreparable harm.

We demand that an International team of lawyers be granted immediate unobstructed, unconditional access to Saif Al Islam Qadhafi, so that they can facilitate his transfer to a secure facility in The Hague in accordance with International Law as defined in:

THE GENEVA CONVENTIONS
CONVENTION AGAINST TORTURE
UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS

We respectfully remind the The International Criminal Court that Saif Al Islam Qadhafi is under their jurisdiction and is entitled to their guarantee of full protection of all of his human rights.

Saif Al Islam Qadhafi, being under the jurisdiction of The International Criminal Court, cannot be subject to risk of irreparable harm.

Saif Al Islam Qadhafi has the right to be transferred out of Libya and tried at The Hague in accordance with his request.

Refer to the original arrest warrant: Jurisdiction – F – 1 – 50 Link

We Demand That The Libyan Authorities’ Request To Have Saif Al Islam Qadhafi’s Trial In Libya Be Denied

SITUATION IN LIBYA IN THE CASE OF THE PROSECUTOR v. SAIF AL-ISLAM GADDAFI AND ABDULLAH AL-SENUSSI

As Mr. Xavier-Jean Keïta, Principal Counsel and Ms. Melinda Taylor, Counsel pointed out to the court on August 21, 2012, the Libyan authorities will not provide accurate information regarding:

i- The location of the trial.
ii- The penalty that will be imposed.
iii- The fact that Saif Al Islam Qadhafi has no legal counsel in Libya and has not been granted the right to choose who will represent him.
iv- Their unwillingness to protect witnesses who would like to testify on behalf of Saif Al Islam Qadhafi.
iv- The exact date that Libya is seeking to set for the commencement of the trial.
vi- The specific items that the “prosecution” intends to submit as evidence against Saif Al Islam Qadhafi.

The Libyan authorities are unwilling to conduct fair trials.

They are presently conducting mock tribunals as a cloak for cold-blooded murder, motivated by their desire for political revenge.

i-Saif Al Islam Qadhafi will not receive a fair trial in Libya.

ii- His witnesses will not be permitted to testify on his behalf. They will be imprisoned and executed should they attempt to do so.

iii- Saif Al Islam Qadhafi will most certainly be sentenced to death in Libya.

ICC Defense Respond To The Libyan Authorities’ Demand To Hold Saif Gaddafi’s Trial In Libya

Urgent Matters That Irrevocably Compromise Saif Al Islam Qadhafi’s Right To A Fair Trial

SITUATION IN LIBYA IN THE CASE OF THE PROSECUTOR v. SAIF AL-ISLAM GADDAFI AND ABDULLAH AL-SENUSSI

Due to the professional misconduct of Luis Moreno-Ocampo, Saif Al Islam Qadhafi has been the victim of a mass media campaign to implicate his guilt for crimes that he has not committed and for which there is no substantiating evidence.

In violation of International Law and Rules Of Ethical And Professional Conduct, Luis Moreno Ocampo gave numerous, widely publicized interviews where he cited crimes allegedly committed by Saif Al Islam Qadhafi, thus denying him his fundamental legal right of Presumption Of Innocence.

The International Criminal Court must include this critical factor in their deliberations regarding this case so that the utmost care is given to reverse the damage done by Luis Moreno-Ocampo’s indiscretions.

The International Criminal Court Must Ensure That Saif Al Islam Qadhafi Receives:

i- Immediate transfer out of Libya to safe facilities where he will:

a) obtain necessary medical treatment for injuries sustained while detained in Zintan,
b) be permitted access to family and friends,
c) be granted unrestricted access to his legal counsel.

ii- a transparent, impartial hearing that is open to the public, where the world can observe the proceedings in their entirety and hear Saif Al Islam Qadhafi’s full testimony.

iii- Every effort must be made to ensure that witnesses who desire to provide evidence of Saif Al Islam Qadhafi’s innocence and testify on his behalf are provided with safe transport to his hearing and remain fully protected throughout.
