He said at a press conference that
the NTC Sunday had discussed the capture of Saif who was wanted
both by the Libyan court and the ICC, “and the decision is he
stay here and receive a fair trial."
"We were consolidated by trying to activate the transitional
law as well as the legislative body," said Ghoga, adding
that the procedures were completed.
The European Union (EU) Saturday urged the NTC to safely
deliver Saif to justice.
"The reported capture of Saif al-Islam is a significant
development. As Colonel Gaddafi's son and possible successor,
Saif was a key player in the former regime," said EU
foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton in her statement following
the report of Saif's capture.
Libyan interim Prime Minister Abdel Rahim el-Keeb promised
a fair trial for Saif, who had been on the run for months
since forces of the NTC took over Tripoli in late August and
is wanted by the ICC for crimes against humanity.
"We assure Libyans and the world that Saif al-Islam
will receive a fair trial," he said at a televised news
conference held in the western Libyan town of Zintan, where
Saif al-Islam is being kept in custody.
The ICC issued warrants on June 27 against Saif, his father
and Abdullah al-Senussi, former intelligence chief in Gaddafi's
regime who was captured earlier Sunday and is detained on
charges of crimes against humanity in cracking down on anti-Gaddafi
protests.
Muammar Gaddafi and his another son, Mutassim, were captured
alive by NTC forces in his hometown Sirte in late October,
but both died shortly in murky circumstances
