Libyan delegation in Beirut seeks release of the son of late Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi

Lebanese officials agreed to reduce Hannibal Gadhafi’s bail and lift his travel ban, potentially allowing his release after nearly a decade without trial, judicial sources said.

  • On Monday, a Libyan delegation in Lebanon made progress in talks over the possible release of Hannibal Gadhafi, meeting three senior judicial officials including prosecutor Jamal Hajar.
  • Detained since 2015, Hannibal Gadhafi faces accusations of withholding information about Moussa al-Sadr's 1978 disappearance, despite being less than 3 years old then.
  • The Libyan delegation handed Lebanese officials a detailed report on Moussa al-Sadr while Hostage Aid Worldwide has engaged senior officials and worked with the Badreddine family in recent weeks.
  • Last month, a Lebanese judge ordered Hannibal Gadhafi's release on $11 million bail but banned him from leaving Lebanon; his lawyers said he cannot pay and requested travel permission.
  • A person familiar with advocacy efforts said the restrictions on Hannibal Gadhafi's bail and travel ban are expected to be lifted, allowing him to leave Lebanon for Qatar; Libya formally requested his release in 2023 citing deteriorating health.
