A delegation from the Ministry of Justice of the Government of National Unity will soon travel to Beirut to meet with Lebanese counterparts and the committee overseeing the case of Hannibal Gaddafi, fourth son of former Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi, detained in Lebanon in precautionary custody since his arrest in December 2015.
This was reported by the Lebanese newspaper The Daily Star, citing Lebanese sources. According the newspaper, the parties will discuss the activation of a 2014 memorandum of understanding regarding the disappearance of the Shiite cleric Musa al Sadr, which occurred in 1978, for which Hannibal Gaddafi is accused.
The non-governmental organization Human Rights Watch declared in recent days that the Lebanese authorities “should immediately release” Gaddafi, detained “on false charges”.
