Libya ICC Team Faces 45 Days' Detention

Libya has put a team of four International Criminal Court envoys in "preventive" detention in prison for 45 days while investigations are conducted, a judicial source said on Monday.

"A decision was made to put them in preventive detention for 45 days while investigations are conducted," an official in the attorney general's office told Agence France Presse on condition of anonymity.

Ajmi al-Atiri, head of the brigade that detained the delegation after it visited Moammar Gadhafi's son Seif al-Islam, said: "They were transferred yesterday (Sunday) to a prison on the orders of the prosecutor general."
