Colonel Gaddafi’s son Saif al-Islam said he wants to be transferred to The Hague to face trial.
"I am not afraid to die but if you execute me after such a trial you should just call it murder and be done with it," Saif al-Islam said according to documents submitted to the ICC by his lawyers.
He has already been indicted by the ICC for crimes against humanity, but Libya has refused to hand him over till now.
The Libyan interim government argues he should face justice in his own country for the crimes that he is suspected of committing.
Saif al-Islam’s father is thought to have been killed by rebel forces, after being captured in October last year.
