Libya: Gaddafi regimes last loyalists are negotiating their release from prison – The Africa Report

Armed and hooded men block the road leading to the largest prison in western Libya, next to Mitiga airport on the outskirts of Tripoli. Behind its high white walls, an entire block is reserved for its most famous prisoner, Abdallah Senoussi. He is treated like a VIP and regularly examined by his private doctors, a prison guard says.
