Libyans Protest Arrest of Gaddafi's Son
Dozens of Libyans held a protest on Wednesday, July 23, 2008, outside the Swiss Embassy in Tripoli to protest last week's arrest of a son of Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi, saying he had been mistreated. The demonstrators also handed a statement to the Swiss ambassador, warning of reprisals unless Switzerland officially apologizes for the arrest. Hannibal Gaddafi, 32, was arrested along with his wife at a Geneva hotel last week after being accused of assaulting some of their staff. The couple was released on bail two days later.
