Gaddafi's Internal Security Chief Released
2022-09-24
[LIBYAREVIEW] Mansour Daw, the former Commander of the People’s Guard and a prominent figure in the Qadaffy regime received a health pardon by the Libyan Minister of Justice, Halima Abdel-Rahman on Thursday.

The Libyan Military Prosecutor’s Office said Abdel-Rahman ordered the release of Daw. He had previously been sentenced to death by a civil court in Misrata, and was being held in the military prison.

Daw was a Brigadier General, and also served as the Internal Security Chief of the Qadaffy regime. He remained loyal to Qadaffy until they were both captured on 20 October 2011. Since then he has been awaiting execution on charges of suppressing the 17 February Revolution. Daw denied any connection to the suppression of protests.

The Military Prosecutor added that the release order was referred to the Director of the Military Police Department.

Over the past years, many tribal leaders have called for releasing the remnants of the Qadaffy regime, who are still imprisoned in Tripoli
...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...
and Misrata. These demands have always been rejected by militia leaders.
