Niger has extradited Muammar Gaddafi's son Saadi to the Libyan capital Tripoli, the Libyan government has said.
The third son of the former Libyan leader is being held in Hadaba Prison in the capital.
“The Libyan Government received today (6/3/2014) Al Saadi Gaddafi. He
arrived in Libya and is located at the Libyan judiciary police
station", the Libyan government said on its official Facebook page on Thursday.
"The Libyan Government thanks the President of the Republic of Niger,
Mahamadou Issoufou, we also thank the Niger Government and the people
of Niger for their cooperation with the Libyan Government in pledging
its commitment to the treatment of the accused on the principles of
justice and international norms in dealing with prisoners. God save
Libya.”
Saadi was granted entry to Niger on humanitarian grounds after the Gaddafi government was toppled.
