International Criminal Court unseals arrest warrant for Libyan national Saif Sneidel
The International Criminal Court's (ICC) "Pre-Trial Chamber I" announced on Friday that it has lifted the confidentiality on an arrest warrant issued on November 10, 2020, for Saif Suleiman Sneidel. ICC said Sneidel is a Libyan national and a member of 'Group 50,' a sub-unit of the Al-Saiqa Brigade commanded by Mahmoud Al-Werfalli, referred to since May 2017 as a 'Field Commander' and, since February 2018, as a first lieutenant. The court said Sneidel is wanted for war crimes, including murder, torture and outrages upon personal dignity, allegedly committed in Benghazi or surrounding areas in Libya on or before June 3, 2016, through on or about July 17, 2017. The UN Security Council referred the situation in Libya to the ICC prosecutor under Resolution 1970, dated February 26, 2011. On March 3, 2011, the prosecutor announced the decision to open an investigation into the Libya situation. According to the court, eight other public arrest warrants issued by the ICC remain outstanding for Osama Najim, Abdulrahim Al-Shaqaqi, Makhlouf Douma, Nasser Dhou, Mohammed Salmi, Abdulbari Al-Shaqaqi, Fathi Al-Zankal and Saif Al-Islam Gaddafi. ICC also noted that German authorities arrested another Libyan national, Khaled Al-Haishri, on July 16, 2025, pursuant to a sealed arrest warrant issued by the Pre-Trial Chamber I. He remains in German custody pending completion of national proceedings under Article 59 of the Rome Statute.
