The Lawyer of one of Muammar Gaddafi’s surviving sons, Paul Romanos, says the latter has gone on a hunger strike to protest his protracted confinement in Lebanon.
Hannibal Gaddafi has been held in Lebanon for more than eight years after being abducted by Lebanese militants from Syria, where he had taken refuge after the downfall and death of his father, he adds.
Hannibal Gaddafi was subsequently taken by the Lebanese authorities and has been detained ever since in a jail in Beirut without trial, Mr Romanos says.
