(INN) — International Criminal Court prosecutors want warrants for the arrest of Libya dictator Muammar Qaddafi as evidence shows he used children as human shields by building a playground over his compound in Tripoli.
The ICC prosecutors said Qaddafi should be charged for torture, murder and the brutal suppression of opponents. The Hague’s chief prosecutor, Luis Moreno-Ocampo, told a press conference that Qaddafi’s forces have shot at demonstrators and at people leaving mosques and have shelled funeral processions.
Ocampo is due to file with ICC judges a 74-page document detailing alleged war crimes
An arrest warrant would make it difficult for Qaddafi to seek refuge in another country, leaving him the choice of either surrendering or continuing a “win or die” battle against rebels.
