(27 Apr 2014) Seif al-Islam, the son of Libyan dictator Moammar Gadhafi, appeared at his trial in Tripoli on Sunday via video conferencing from the city of Zintan, where he has been held by a militia since November 2011.
Journalists watched the trial on three TV screens; which broadcast simultaneously from courtrooms in Tripoli, Zintan and Misrata.
Accused of several crimes including murder during the country's 2011 civil war, Gadhafi appeared dressed in a blue prison uniform and sat alone.
Authorities in Tripoli have tried to transfer Gadhafi to the capital so he can stand trial in person, but so far negotiations with the militia holding him have failed.
37 other defendants, mostly officials from the Gadhafi regime, sat behind bars in heavily-secured courtrooms.
Among those present was former intelligence chief Abdullah al-Senoussi, who spoke to the court from behind the court room bars.
The session was adjourned until May.
