US EditionLibyan delegation in Beirut seeks release of the son of late Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi
Lebanese officials and a Libyan delegation agreed to reduce bail and lift travel restrictions for Hannibal Gadhafi, detained since 2015 over a decades-old disappearance case.
- On Monday, a five-member Libyan delegation advanced negotiations in Lebanon, meeting three senior judicial officials including prosecutor Jamal Hajar and progressing on Hannibal Gadhafi's possible release.
- Having been abducted from Baalbek, northeastern Lebanon in 2015, Hannibal Gadhafi was living in exile in Syria with Aline Skaf before being detained in a Beirut jail and accused of withholding information on Moussa al-Sadr, Lebanese Shiite cleric who disappeared in 1978.
- Libya formally requested Hannibal Gadhafi’s release in 2023 citing deteriorating health, while a Lebanese judge last month ordered $11 million bail but barred travel, which his lawyers say he cannot afford.
- Hostage Aid Worldwide is working with the Badreddine family to seek closure as the cleric's family believes he may still be alive, while resolving Gadhafi's detention could address a decade-long grievance.
- In recent weeks advocates have urged senior Lebanese officials to follow international norms against wrongful detention, while Hannibal Gadhafi’s birth before al-Sadr’s disappearance ties his case to Libya’s 2011 upheaval.
