Trial of Gaddafi's son adjourned to December
Saadi Gaddafi, a son of former Libyan leader Muhammar Gaddafi was in court on Sunday to face trial on charges of murder and repression during the 2011 revolution.
The trial was however adjourned till December without a reason by the judge.
Saadi is charged with the first-degree murder in 2005 of a former trainer at Tripoli's Al-Ittihad football club.
Sunday's court hearing came days after Human Rights Watch said it had been able to meet Saadi at Tripoli's Al-Hadba prison, where he said his rights were being violated.
The body reported that Saadi said he had been "held in solitary confinement at Al-Hadba prison since his extradition from Niger Republic , and kept in a windowless cell.
Three of Kadhafi's seven sons were killed in the 2011 NATO-backed uprising and in July, one-time heir apparent Seif al-Islam was sentenced to death for crimes during the uprising.
