Lebanon has released Hannibal Gaddafi, the son of the late Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi, after nearly a decade in detention. The decision also lifts the travel ban and financial bail conditions previously imposed on him.
In an official statement issued Thursday, Libya’s Government of National Unity (GNU) confirmed the release, describing it as the outcome of sustained diplomatic efforts aimed at resolving the case within a legal and humanitarian framework that preserves the dignity of Libyan citizens.
The GNU expressed its appreciation to the President of Lebanon and the Speaker of the Lebanese Parliament for their cooperation and understanding, as well as to the Lebanese authorities for their “positive response” that led to Gaddafi’s release. The government said the move reflects the “spirit of brotherhood and historic ties” between the Libyan and Lebanese peoples and marks a step toward restoring mutual trust and strengthening bilateral judicial cooperation.
The statement also welcomed the Lebanese leadership’s willingness to reactivate diplomatic relations and expand collaboration in political, economic, and security fields, reaffirming Libya’s commitment to constructive dialogue and mutual respect based on shared interests.
