Relatives of the late former Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi will sue
NATO in the International Military Court in the Hague on “war crime”
charges, France-based Europe1 radio station quoted Gaddafi’s family
lawyer as saying.
“They [relatives of the late dictator] will file a suit on war crime
charges,” Marcel Ceccaldi said. “NATO helicopters opened fire on
[Gaddafi’s] convoy…This convoy did not pose any threat to civilians.
It was an operation to eliminate the Libyan leader, planned by the
North Atlantic alliance.”
The lawyer also criticized the decision to display Gaddafi’s corpse
at a shopping center in Misrata for four days.
Gaddafi, who ruled Libya for 42 years, died shortly after being
captured alive by National Council fighters near his hometown of
Sirte last week. The UN human rights office, as well as Russia and
the United States, have called for a probe into the deposed Libyan
leader’s extrajudicial killing.
On Tuesday Gaddafi was buried at a secret location in the Libyan
desert.
