“Today you can see that I’m smiling!” .david and ECCHR’s Allison West reflect on day 2 of the ICC confirmation of charges hearing against El Hishri.
On day 2 we heard the Prosecution present evidence and arguments related to the crimes of persecution and enslavement. Khaled Mohamed Ali El Hishri is accused of 17 counts of crimes against humanity and war crimes committed, ordered and overseen by him and co-perpetrators in Mitiga Prison, Tripoli.
Trapped, tortured and enslaved in this detention industry were both Libyan nationals and migrants and refugees. We also heard how international complicity enabled these structures to continue with impunity.
As the the pre-trial phase draws to a close, we await the final confirmation of charges and to see this move forward to trial.

Multinational Lafarge and four former senior executives were found guilty of financing terrorism in Syria by the Paris Criminal Court.
Lafarge, along with four former executives, was found guilty of financing terrorist groups – notably the Islamic State – totaling €5.5 million between 2013 and 2014 to keep its cement plant in Syria operational amidst the civil war, despite the risks to its employees.
The court ordered the maximum fine for the company and prison sentences ranging from three to six years for the former executives.
However, access to justice has once again been denied to the Syrian employees, who are still awaiting compensation.
Lafarge remains under investigation for complicity in crimes against humanity – a charge that goes beyond financing terrorism, as it concerns the fueling of the gravest crimes under international law. It is crucial that this case will be brought before a court.
