Hannibal Gaddafi Granted $11M Bail After Decade in Prison
The Spin
Narrative A
While the ruling is a positive step in a long-stalled case, the $11 million bail for Hannibal is a paralyzing decision that violates basic justice and human rights standards. His decade-long detention was arbitrary and unjustified, demanding immediate release and a state apology. The judiciary must correct this grave injustice.
Narrative B
This order is a dangerous political interference in Lebanon's judiciary, with media campaigns and ministerial bias corrupting the process. The investigation deliberately avoided core accusations while manipulating public opinion about his condition. This sets a troubling precedent that undermines justice for victims' families.
Narrative C
If Lebanon apologizes to Hannibal, it implies state guilt, making it legally liable if Gaddafi seeks compensation. Yet everyone knows who caused his arbitrary detention. Why must the state pay for individuals' mistakes? The real culprit should be named and held accountable.
