Hannibal Gaddafi, son of late Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi, has been transferred from a Lebanese prison to a hospital and is in a “critical state of health”.
This is what the Lebanese media reported on Monday, July 3, 2023, according to which it is the third time in a month that Gaddafi Jr has been hospitalized since, on June 3, he began a hunger strike to protest against the conditions of his prison.
Hannibal Gaddafi was arrested in Lebanon in 2015 amid political controversy between Lebanon and Libya over the disappearance, in 1978, in Libya, of the Lebanese Shiite leader Moussa Sadr, founder of the Amal political movement, led for decades by the irremovable Speaker of the Lebanese Parliament Nabih Berri.
Berri and the Lebanese authorities have for years accused Muammar Gaddafi, ousted from power and killed in 2011, of having disappeared and eliminated Sadr. At the material time, in 1978, Hannibal Gaddafi was two years old. This amply justifies the feeling of injustice which pushed the latter to observe a hunger strike to protest against the fate reserved for him and which dishonors if not the State at least Lebanese justice.
