“There is no difference between Zintan and capital Tripoli,” Saif told the country’s Alaseema TV in his first television appearance under detention.
Libyan Attorney General Abdel Kader Radwan recently issued a request to the court in Zintan to hand over Saif al-Islam in order that the Criminal Court should try him along with other 36 Gaddafi-era officials accused of war crimes committed during the 2011 uprising. But the militia group in control of Zintan has refused due to security concerns.
