Protestors called for Haftar and Gaddafi to be disqualified from a presidential run given their crimes against the Libyan people
People gather to protest against the candidacy application of Saif al Islam Gaddafi, the son of former Libyan ruler Muammar Gaddafi and Khalifa Haftar for upcoming presidential election in Tripoli.
Demonstrators stamped on posters of Haftar and Saif al Islam Gaddafi on Friday, voicing anger over an electoral law criticised for bypassing due process and favouring a bid by warlord Haftar. One demonstrator on Friday carried a placard reading "No to elections without a constitutional basis!" The head of the High Council of State, the parliament's upper house based in Tripoli, said he would boycott the vote and warned against holding elections without a legal framework agreed by all sides.
