Court strikes down bar on Kadhafi 'glorification'

Libya’s supreme court on Thursday struck down as “unconstitutional” a law passed at the start of May that banned glorification of slain leader Moamer Kadhafi.

A Libyan human rights group had lodged an appeal with the court against the law adopted by Libya’s ruling National Transitional Council on May 2 that drew criticism from international watchdogs over freedom of expression.
