Libyan Government Airs Video of Gadhafi Son

In response to rumors that Moammar Gadhafi’s son, al-Saadi Gadhafi, was being tortured, the Libyan government has aired a video from prison of him apologizing.

The Libyan government is preparing to prosecute him for his alleged role in trying to suppress the uprising against Gadhafi’s rule. In the video, al-Saadi is seen wearing blue prison uniform, sitting in what looks like an office. He says he is sorry for the “harm and disturbances” — without elaborating — and says he is being treated well in prison.
