The wife and daughter of Libyan leader Col. Muammar Gaddafi have reportedly fled to Tunisia amidst the ongoing NATO bombing. According to Reuters, the two have taken refuge on a southern Tunisian island. The International Criminal Court’s chief prosecutor, Luis Moreno-Ocampo, indicted Gaddafi and two others for crimes against humanity this week. On Wednesday, Moreno-Ocampo said Libyan officials could face charges for following Gaddafi’s orders.
Luis Moreno-Ocampo: “Gaddafi himself is committing the crimes. They cannot follow orders of Gaddafi. If they follow orders of Gaddafi, they could be prosecuted. That has to be very clear. Due obedience is not an excuse to commit crimes. They have no due obedience to commit crimes. They have no due obedience to cover up the crimes.”
