ICC says trial of 'Angel of Death' Libya prison boss El Hishri to begin May 4
THE HAGUE: A notorious Libyan prison boss dubbed the "Angel of Death" will stand trial on charges of murder, rape and torture from May 4, the court said on Monday.
Khaled Mohamed Ali El Hishri, 48, faces 17 counts of war crimes and crimes against humanity allegedly committed between 2014 and 2020 at the Mitiga prison near Tripoli.
Presiding judge Althea Violet Alexis-Windsor set the date for the trial, which will be the first to stem from a United Nations-mandated investigation into alleged crimes in Libya, which began in 2011.
