Seif al-Islam Kadhafi, wanted by the ICC for crimes against humanity, appeared in a Zintan court on Thursday (January 17th) on charges of plotting to escape prison, Libya Herald reported.
The new charges are tied to a controversial June visit to Libya by an International Criminal Court team that was helping him prepare his defence, a court official told Wataniya TV.
Moamer Kadhafi's son has been in custody since his 2011 arrest.
