Libya repeals sentence on 2 Russians, pending new trial

Libya repeals sentence on 2 Russians, pending new trial

A Libyan military court’s sentence on Russian citizens Aleksandr Shadrov and Vladimir Dolgov, convicted for alleged collaboration with the former government of Muammar Gaddafi, has been repealed. Now a civilian court will take up their case, a source in the consular department of the Russian Embassy in Tripoli told Interfax. During the appeal hearing held Wednesday, the court changed the status of the Russian citizens from “convicted” to “detained,” the source said.
