Nine people including former Libyan President Muammar Gaddafi's most prominent son - Saif al-Islam, have been sentenced to death for war crimes and acts to crush peaceful protests during the country's 2011 revolution that ended Gaddafi's rule.

Also among those sentenced to death are the Gaddafi government's former intelligence chief - Abdullah al-Senussi and former Prime Minister - Baghdadi al-Mahmoudi.
Eight other ex-officials received life sentences and seven were given jail terms of 12 years each. Four were acquitted. All but Saif al-Islam - who was sentenced in absentia, are in judicial custody.
The verdict on al-Islam was passed in absentia in Tripoli since he has been held for four years by a former rebel group in the Zintan region beyond central government control.
The sentences can be appealed and must be confirmed by Libya's highest court.
The trial began in April 2014 before fighting between rival factions in Tripoli ripped Libya apart in a power struggle which has produced two governments competing for central authority.
The International Criminal Court and rights groups say they worry about the fairness and competence of Libya's judicial system, although it won the right in 2013 to try Senussi at home instead of at the ICC in The Hague.
