(CNN) -- Libya must make arrangements to hand over Saif al-Islam Gadhafi to the International Criminal Court immediately, court officials said Thursday, complaining that the son of the deposed Libyan leader has been mistreated since he was captured last year.
Gadhafi is in a "legal black hole," held for 139 days in "total isolation" except for visits from officials, his ICC-appointed defense said in a strongly-worded statement.
"At no point, have the Libyan authorities been legally justified in their failure to surrender him to the ICC," lawyers Xavier-Jean Keita and Melinda Taylor said.
