The son of former Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi has been released from prison, according to his lawyer.
Saif al-Islam Gaddafi was sentenced to death last July for alleged war crimes during the Arab Spring revolution that overthrew his father in 2011.
Mr al-Islam’s lawyer, Karim Khan, told France 24 his client had been set free on 12 April and is “well and safe and in Libya.”

The release was made “in accordance with [Libyan] law,” he said, suggesting Gaddafi’s second son would not face any future charges.
Mr Khan said Mr al-Islam was released under an amnesty declared before the UN-backed unity government led by Fayez al-Sarraj took over in March.
