Aussie ICC lawyer held in Libya
Libya has arrested a female Australian lawyer from the International Criminal Court for trying to pass "dangerous" documents to Saif al-Islam, detained son of slain leader Muammar Gaddafi, the ICC's Libyan representative said yesterday.
"During a visit (to Saif on Friday), the lawyer tried to deliver documents to the accused, documents that have nothing to do with his case and that represent a danger to the security of Libya," Ahmed al-Jehani said.
The lawyer, named as Melinda Taylor, was part of a four-member ICC delegation that received permission from Libya's chief prosecutor to visit Saif .
