‘Huge milestone’ as Libyan militia commander accused of torture to appear at ICC

A former Libyan militia commander, Khaled Mohamed Ali El Hishri, will appear at the International Criminal Court for a hearing on charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity. The prosecution is a landmark step towards justice for abuses of refugees trying to reach Europe from Africa. The ICC's investigation into crimes in Libya began after the fall of Muammar Gaddafi in 2011.
