Ex-Gaddafi PM extradited to Libya
Description
The former prime minister of Libya, Al Baghdadi Ali al-Mahmoudi, arriving in Tripoli on Sunday after being extradited from Tunisia.
He is the first senior official to be returned to Libya to face a trial under the country's transitional leadership.
Mahmoudi served as the ousted Libyan leader's prime minister from 2006 until he fled to neighbouring Tunisia around the time that rebel fighters took Tripoli in August last year.
His extradition could establish a precedent for other countries that have given refuge to or arrested members of Gaddafi's old entourage.
Rights activists say they fear that the Libyan judicial system may not meet international legal standards, but Tripoli considers it a matter of national pride to try former Gaddafi loyalists in Libya.
