The former Libyan leader’s second son “was given his liberty on April 12, 2016”, lawyer Karim Khan said on Wednesday, adding that Saif al-Islam was released under an amnesty previously declared by the Tobruk parliament, the internationally recognised authority that governed part of Libya before the national unity government of Fayez al-Sarraj took over in March. — France24.
