Tunis: A Tunisian appeals court has upheld the extradition of Libya's prime minister during the last years of Muammar Gaddafi's regime, the final step in the appeals process.
The decision, late on Friday, in the Tunis court means Al Baghdadi Al Mahmoudi has run out of appeals and can now be sent back to Libya, pending the approval of Tunisia's government and president.
It was unclear whether Tunisia's incoming president, who is a former head of the country's best-known human rights group, would sign the order. Al Mahmoudi's lawyers have also appealed to the UN High Commissioner for Refugees, asking them to grant him a status of political refuge....
There is common interest among the new governments. The need for justice. There is no rift between the differences of the ethnicities. I find that extraordinary.
A real failure of these liberation movements would be if they separated themselves into nations that hate each other and would be willing to go to war over it. That is not the reality and seems to be homogenous throughout the spectrum so far.
It is amazing to realize the Arab League is as significant as it is today. It has been in existance for a long time. Evidently, they took themselves very seriously when others thought they were insignificant. The peace and cooperation spreading between the new governments is simply amazing.
