The judge adjoined proceedings against Saadi Gaddafi, who
was extradited from Niger last year, until Dec. 6 after his attorney asked for
more time to examine the case against him and to have access to military
prosecutor documents. Saadi, dressed in light blue prison garb, sat inside a
black caged area of the courtroom.

In July a Tripoli court sentenced another of Gaddafi’s sons
Saif al-Islam and eight other former officials to death for crimes committed
during the 2011 uprising against his father, who was later killed by rebels.

The sentences have not been carried out although the men,
including Gaddafi’s ex-spy chief, are in jail. Since his capture after the 2011
uprising, Saif himself has been held by forces in the western city of Zintan by
a faction beyond central government control.
