Ousted Libyan dictator Moamer Gaddafi’s son appeared in court Thursday in Zintan where he is being held by ex-rebels on the same day he was due in Tripoli on security charges

Ousted Libyan dictator Moamer Gaddafi's son appeared in court Thursday in Zintan where he is being held by ex-rebels on the same day he was due in Tripoli on security charges.
  
A lawyer said that Seif al-Islam, charged with undermining state security, appeared in the dock in Zintan west of the capital in a trial that was then adjourned.
  
"Seif al-Islam Gaddafi appeared before the Zintan court that decided to adjourn the trial until December 12 to allow the attendance of other accused in the case," the lawyer who was present in court told AFP.

Gaddafi's son had also been due at a pre-trial hearing in Tripoli on charges related to the 2011 uprising, but there were doubts that his captors in Zintan would allow this.
  
Prosecutor general Abdulqader Radwan said Wednesday he had ordered Seif transferred to the Tripoli court from Zintan, 180 kilometres (110 miles) to the southwest.
  
Gaddafi's former heir apparent and others including ex-intelligence supremo Abdullah al-Senussi are accused of crimes during the revolt in which he was ousted and killed. Baghdadi al-Mahmudi Gaddafi's last prime minister, and Mansur Daw, who headed the People's Guard, are also among the accused in one of the most important legal cases in Libyan history.
  
"We have sent a transfer order to the penal authorities concerned to send those persons implicated in Case Number 630, including Seif al-Islam," the prosecutor general told a Tripoli news conference.
