Libya’s judicial authorities have formally asked Lebanon to release one of the late dictator Muammar Gaddafi’s sons – held without charges in Lebanon since 2015 because of his deteriorating health.

The health of Hannibal Gaddafi has been deteriorating since he went on hunger strike on June 3, to protest over his detention without trial.
