Libya asks Lebanon to release Gadhafi's detained son who is on hunger strike
|
[An Nahar] Libya's judicial authorities have formally asked Leb
 ...an Iranian colony situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozeen flavors of Christians. It is the home of Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade. The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers...
to release one of the late dictator Muammar Qadaffy
...a proud Arab institution for 42 years, now among the dear departed, though not the dearest...
's sons, held without charges in Lebanon since 2015 because of his deteriorating health, officials said Monday.
The health of Hannibal Qadaffy has been deteriorating since he went on hunger strike on June 3, to protest his detention without trial. He was taken to hospital at least twice since then and has been only drinking small amounts of water.
According to two Lebanese judicial officials, Libya's prosecutor general al-Sediq al-Sour sent a request earlier this month to his Lebanese counterpart, Ghassan Oueidat, regarding Hannibal Qadaffy. The officials spoke to The News Agency that Dare Not be Named on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk to the media.
The note stated that Lebanon's cooperation in this matter could help reveal the truth regarding the fate of a prominent Lebanese Shiite holy man, Moussa al-Sadr, who went missing in Libya in 1978.
It questioned why Qadaffy was being held and asked that he be either handed over to Libya or be allowed to return to Syria, where he had been living in exile with his Lebanese wife, Aline Skaff, and children until he was kidnapped and brought to Lebanon eight years ago.
The Lebanese prosecutor then referred the case to Zaher Hamadeh, the investigative judge in the missing holy man's case, who is studying the Libyan request and would respond in time.
Hannibal Qadaffy has been detained in Lebanon since 2015 after he was kidnapped by Lebanese Lions of Islam demanding information on the whereabouts of the holy man. Lebanese police later announced it had picked up Qadaffy from the city of Baalbek in northeastern Lebanon, where he was being held. He has since been held in a Beirut jail.
The disappearance of al-Sadr in 1978 has been a long-standing sore point in Lebanon. The holy man's family believes he may still be alive in a Libyan prison, though most Lebanese presume al-Sadr is dead. He would be 94 years old.
He was the founder of the Amal movement, currently headed by Speaker Nabih Knobby Berri
...Speaker of the Lebanese parliament, head of the Amal Shiite party aligned with Hezbollah, a not very subtle sock puppet of the Medes and Persians...
Most of al-Sadr's followers are convinced that Muammar Qadaffy ordered al-Sadr killed in a dispute over Libyan payments to Lebanese militias.
