‘No fair trial’ for Gaddafi’s son



VOORBURG - Moamer Kadhafi’s son Seif al-Islam has no chance of a fair trial in Libya, his international lawyer said Friday following her release from almost four weeks’ detention there. “Irrespective of any issues concerning my own personal conduct, the rights of my client, Mr Seif al-Islam - were irrevocably prejudiced during my visit to Zintan,” said Melinda Taylor, who was freed this week after being held in Libya while visiting Seif on behalf of the International Criminal Court. “It is the position of the defence that these recent events have completely underscored that it will be impossible for Mr Kadhafi to be tried in an independent and impartial manner in Libyan courts,” she said at a press conference in The Hague.
