The eight Qaddafi-regime era officials being held in Misrata were transferred to Tripoli to appear in court yesterday as part of a slow-moving trial that includes Qaddafi’s son Saif Al-Islam.

The Zliten Municipal Court has postponed until 8 December, its ruling in the Baza Case against 57 former Qaddafi soldiers because the defense team failed to appear the hearing on Monday.

A Libyan court indicted Thursday around 30 Muammar Gaddafi aides, including the slain dictator’s son Seif al-Islam, for a raft of alleged offenses during the 2011 revolt, prosecutors said.
