Gaddafi’s daughter Aisha claims inquiry into her father's killing

Muammar Gaddafi's daughter Aisha’s lawyer has written to the prosecutor of the International Criminal Court to inquire for an investigation into the executing of her father and brother.

According to the letter that Gaddafi and his son Mutassim were "killed in the most terrible fashion with their bodies then displayed and grotesquely exploited in totally insolence of Islamic law."

"The pictures of this savagery were telecasted throughout the world, causing my client brutal emotional disturbance," said the letter from Nick Kaufman, the Israeli lawyer appointed by the Qaddafi's daughter. 

"To date, neither Ms Gaddafi nor any member of her family has been verified, by your office, of the opening of an inquiry into the conditions surrounding the ruthless killings," the letter said.

Gaddafi and his Mutassim were arrested in their home town of Sirte in October, two months after activists captured the capital Tripoli and put Libya's longtime ruler and his relatives to flight.

They were murdered soon after their arrest while in the detention of rebels loyal to the country's new control, in conditions that have not been completely illustrated.

Gaddafi's daughter Aisha escaped along with her other family members to neighboring country Algeria in August.

The ICC, based in the Hague, prior this year issued detention orders for the dictator, his son Saif al-Islam, and the former Libyan intelligence chief Abdullah al-Senussi, for offenses against the Libyan people.

In the letter, Aisha Gaddafi's lawyer requested if the ICC prosecutor's office was inspecting the murders of her father and brother, and if it was taking measures to ensure the Libyan authorities themselves were inquiring the matter.

The letter also demanded whether the ICC was examining what reports said at the time was a NATO air attack on Gaddafi's group instants before he was detained.

Is your office inspecting the air strike purportedly carried out by NATO forces facilitating to conclude whether individual criminal responsibility should be allocated for an illegal military assault?" the letter asked.
