International Criminal Court defense lawyer Melinda Taylor says her detention shows that Muammar Gaddafi’s son Saif al-Islam cannot get a fair trial in Libya. She was held in Libya for more than three weeks. Fair trial in Libya “impossible” for Gaddafi's son “It is impossible for Mr. Gaddafi to be tried in an independent and impartial manner in Libya,” stressed the Australian lawyer, speaking publicly for the first time since her release Monday, AP has reported. Taylor was accused by the Libyan authorities of endangering national security while meeting in Libya with Saif al-Islam. She was released by rebels in the western town of Zintan after the Hague-based court apologized for the incident and pledged to investigate her and three colleagues held with her. A four-member ICC legal team was arrested after Taylor allegedly passed “suspicious” documents to Saif al-Islam. Taylor said Friday that her actions in Libya were “consistent with my legal obligations” under court rules. Seif al-Islam, who has been in custody since he was arrested in November 2011, is accused of crimes committed during several month-long conflicts in Libya. His father was toppled and killed after 42 years in power. Saif al-Islam Tanjug
