Amal Clooney
– the barrister and glamorous wife of Hollywood actor George Clooney –
has made an 11th-hour bid to save the lives of the son of Libyan
dictator Colonel Gaddafi and his hated spy chief.
Saif
Gaddafi and the former intelligence boss Abdullah al-Senussi were
sentenced to death in a Tripoli court last week for crimes against the
Libyan people.
Mrs
Clooney’s legal chambers represent both Gaddafi and al-Senussi, and
have argued that they should be put on trial in the Hague.
She
has played a leading role in the bid for the spy chief to have his case
heard by judges from the International Criminal Court – where there is
no death penalty.
