The interim Tunisian government recently extradited the former Libyan prime minister under Moammar Gadhafi, Al-Baghdadi al-Mahmoudi, to the current Libyan authorities. This happened in the early hours of Sunday, June 24, when the world was following the Egyptian elections.
Tunisian Prime Minister Hamadi Jebali’s government ignored the positions of local and international human rights organizations, which have been opposed to handing Mahmoudi to Libya because the conditions for a fair trial are not present. There are no guarantees that he will not be physically mistreated and the death penalty is still in use.
