However, his death sentence was appealed by the Libyan Ministry of Justice on the ground of unfair trial, since the court was set in a prison controlled by the Al-Shareef, who has power over the court and the judges. Nevertheless, the ICC continues calling for his retrial and turned a blind eye on the fact that Saif Al-Islam was in the Al-Zintan prison and the Tripoli court had tried him via close circuit TV. Therefore, the ICC should respect Libyan law and be aware that a person should not be tried twice for one alleged crime. But the end game for the West and ICC appears to be to somehow get rid of Saif Al-Islam Qaddafi, even if necessary, as they did with his father Moammar Qaddafi and Saif's brothers.
It is time for the ICC to set aside its double standards and join with the Libyan people in their commitment to salvage their country from these militias and build a new Libya where human rights, prosperity, development and the rule of law prevails for all. The ICC should drop its call for Saif Al-Islam to be extradited and tried by the ICC.
Instead, the ICC should respect and accept the Libyan Ministry of Justice General Amnesty Law by which Saif Al-Islam Qaddafi should assume his role in the struggle for a new democratic Libya. In this respect, the ICC and formerly hostile Western countries should work with Libyans and NGOs to bring these militias and their leaders to justice. All for the sake of achieving peace and reconciliation across Libya.
