(Refiles to add dropped word 'deteriorating' in paragraph 6)BEIRUT (Reuters) -A son of late Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi has been treated in hospital in Lebanon after going on hunger strike two weeks ago in protest at his incarceration without trial since 2015, the Lebanese interior minister said on Thursday. Declaring his decision to go on hunger strike earlier this month, Hannibal Gaddafi - aged two at the time of Sadr's disappearance - said he was a victim of injustice and stood accused of something he did not do. Lebanese Shi'ites have long held the Gaddafi government, which was toppled in 2011, responsible for Sadr's disappearance, saying Libya kidnapped him during the trip. Noting his very young age at the time of Sadr's disappearance, she said he had nothing to do with the matter and called him "a political hostage for undeclared reasons". Sadr founded the Shi'ite Amal Movement, which alongside Hezbollah dominates Lebanese Shi'ite politics and has been led since 1980 by Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri.
