Saif Al-Islam Gaddafi, the eldest son of the Libyan Leader Muammar Gaddafi, and Chairman of GICDF, called to re-open the files that contained human rights violations in Libya, noting that the opening of such files will open the door to complete the reconciliation process.

He also called, during a ceremony aimed at presenting the activities of his Foundation, to the need to compensate those wronged by the revolutionary and the people’s courts, and what he called fake and illegal tribunals.

Gaddafi Jr. extended an invitation to the Libyan residing abroad –those whose properties and wealth was sequestrated- to return back home to regain their rights. He noted that his Foundation is conducting communications with the Libyans abroad to know the reasons of their stay away and to assess their situations.

The director of Libyan external information, Jumaa Abul Khir, said that the statements of the Scion of Gaddafi comes within what he terms as addressing the situations in the country to readjust and correct the circumstances experienced by the march of the Libyan revolution over 37 years of its age.

He clarified in his statements to Al-Jazeera that reforming such conditions comes within the framework of dialogue and popular interaction “to achieve justice, equality and human rights”.
