Libya — Saif al-Islam, a son of
deposed Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi, appeared in court on Thursday in the
town of Zintan, where he had been held since his capture by former rebels in
November 2011.
He is charged with illegally trying to communicate with the
outside world in June last year.
Two lawyers, one named by the court, represented him as he faced
the charge of "undermining state security" for meeting four envoys
from the International Criminal Court (ICC) last June.
The ICC lawyer, Australian Melinda Taylor, was herself detained
for three weeks after a meeting in which Saif al-Islam is accused of handing
over sensitive papers and information.
