Col Muammar Gaddafi’s son, Saif al-Islam, and eight others have been sentenced to death over war crimes linked to the 2011 revolution by a court in Libya.
More than 30 close associates of the deposed leader were on trial, accused of suppressing protests during the uprising.
Saif al-Islam was not present in court and gave evidence via video link.
He is being held by a former rebel group from the town of Zintan that refuses to hand him over.
Former head of intelligence for the Gaddafi regime, Abdullah al-Senussi, is among those also facing the death penalty.
