(ANSAmed) - TUNIS, MAY 23 - In order to allow the extradition
to Libya of former Gaddafi's Prime Minister, Baghdadi el
Mahmoudi, which was announced by the Tunisian Ministry of
Justice yesterday, Tunis poses some conditions. The first is
that the Colonel's former right arm must be guaranteed a fair
trial.
This is what the official spokesperson of the Tunisian
Republic's Presidency, Adnen Manser, specified earlier today,
adding that Tunisia will not hand Al Mahmoudi over 'if it
maintains that his life might be at risk''. The former Prime
Minister's lawyer, Mabrouk Kourchid, said that the extradition
might prompt trouble fed, in South Tunisia, by the tribes who
were closed to the dictator. The lawyer said that a tribal
conflict might burst out, since Mahmoudi belongs to a Libyan
tribe settling close to the Tunisian border. The announcement of
the soon-to-be extradition caused the reaction of a group of
supporters of the former Libyan dictator, who spoke threatening
words concerning the security of Tunisians citizens through a
Facebook page. (ANSAmed).
