According to his lawyer, Paul Romanos, one of Muammar Gaddafi’s surviving sons has gone on hunger strike to protest his prolonged detention in Lebanon.

Hannibal Gaddafi has been held in Lebanon for more than eight years after being kidnapped by Lebanese militants from Syria, where he had sought refuge following his father’s downfall and death, he adds.
Hannibal Gaddafi was later apprehended by Lebanese authorities and has been held in a Beirut jail without trial, according to Mr Romanos.
