The Public Prosecution has identified three suspects in the attack against Saif al-Islam Gaddafi, according to his defence team, which has criticised delays in the investigation.
In a video statement, lawyer Khaled al-Zaidi said the suspects have yet to be detained more than 90 days after the incident. He called on authorities to expedite the process and issue clear arrest warrants to bring those involved to justice.
The Office of the Attorney General had announced in March that suspects had been identified and warrants issued, but did not disclose their identities. Authorities have cited security challenges and the alleged protection of suspects by armed groups as obstacles to carrying out arrests.
However, the defence team said these explanations were insufficient and urged security agencies to enforce judicial orders and pursue anyone providing protection to those wanted.
Lawyers also said they had submitted more than 14 legal requests to access evidence and clarify the circumstances of the incident, warning that delays could risk the loss of forensic evidence. They called for a transparent legal process free from political interference.
The case has prompted mixed reactions among groups seen as close to the former regime. Some tribal and youth organisations have called for greater transparency and faster legal accountability, warning of potential wider repercussions if the case remains unresolved.
