| [An Nahar] Libya's prime minister denied on Thursday reports that Muammar Qadaffy ...who single-handedly turned a moderately prosperous kingdom into a dictator's fantasyland and was then murdered by his indignant subjects 42 years later... 's imprisoned last premier is in a critical condition after being tortured in jail, saying al-Baghdadi al-Mahmudi is in "good health." "Al-Baghdadi is in good health... and is being treated humanely," Prime Minister Ali Zeidan told a new conference.
...a confusing city, one end of which is located in Lebanon and the other end of which is the capital of Libya. Its chief distinction is being mentioned in the Marine Hymn... prison where Mahmudi is being held. "Baghdadi al-Mahmudi has not been subjected to any ill-treatment and has been granted his full rights guaranteed by international law and the principles of human rights," ...which are usually open to widely divergent definitions... Khaled al-Sherif told Agence La Belle France Presse on Wednesday. A lawyer of Mahmudi, who is on trial in Libya accused of killing civilians and of financial crimes, charged on Wednesday that the last premier of deposed and slain Qadaffy had been tortured in prison. Mahmudi "is at death's door as a result of the torture he has suffered," said Tunisian lawyer Mabrouk Kourchid, warning that "he could die". | |
