June 7, 2023BEIRUT — The health of Hannibal Gadhafi, son of the late Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi, was deteriorating three days after he began a hunger strike to protest his prolonged detention without trial in Lebanon. Libyan authorities have denied the claim, saying Sadr and his companions had left Libya for Rome. In a statement last year, the Gadhafi family condemned the conditions in which their son was held and urged Lebanese authorities to immediately release him. The new developments in Gadhafi’s case coincide with a report about worsening conditions in Lebanese prisons and deaths in custody. In addition, Amnesty says Lebanese prisons are 323% over capacity.
