Aug 01, Ahmed Ibrahim was found guilty of inciting violence against rebels during the 2011 uprising. A minister in the government of Muammar Gaddafi has been sentenced to death by a Libyan court. Ibrahim held senior positions including education minister, and was captured by rebels in Gaddafi’s hometown of Sirte, according to Reuters news agency.
According to AP news agency, a judge found he had urged Sirte residents to form armed gangs and fight the rebels.
It says that according to Libyan law, he will be executed by firing squad. But Reuters news agency quotes Ibrahim’s lawyer, Salim Dans, as saying the ruling by a criminal court in the western city of Misrata must be confirmed by Libya’s supreme court.
Libyan authorities are keen to see Gaddafi family and loyalists punished for their support of his 42-year rule, but human rights activists have raised concerns about whether legal proceedings meet international standards.
The most senior regime member yet to face justice is Gaddafi’s son, Saif al-Islam Gaddafi, who is due to go on trial in August.
