Refl: Mungkin sekali kalau Abdullah al Sanusi ini bersembunyi di Indonesia bisa selamat dari penangkapan ICC, karena banyak perwira-perwira TNI yang bertanggung jawab atas “crime against humanity”, kebal dijerat hukum.

The arrest ends the search for one of the last significant members of the Libyan regime still on the run. Mr Senussi, nicknamed ''The Butcher'' for his violent repression of dissent, was Gaddafi's brother-in-law and one of his closest aides. He fled Libya when Gaddafi was ousted last August, and is wanted by the International Criminal Court for crimes against humanity. Advertisement: Story continues below Human rights abuses ... Libya's former leader Muammar Gaddafi.

''There was a young man with him. We think it is his son,'' a Libyan government spokesman, Nasser al-Manee, said. The Libyan government has asked Mauritania to hand him over for questioning, while the French President, Nicolas Sarkozy, said France would also seek his extradition. He was convicted in absentia in 1999 of the bombing of a French passenger plane over Niger in 1989. A statement from Paris said that Mr Senussi's arrest was ''the result of joint efforts by the French and Mauritanian authorities, of which the Libyan authorities had been kept informed''. The senior international justice counsel for Human Rights Watch, Elizabeth Evenson, described his arrest as ''hugely significant'' and called for Mr Senussi to be handed over to the ICC. ''He is accused of very serious crimes, and has a long history of human rights abuses,'' she said. ''The best way for the Libyan people to obtain justice is if he is swiftly transferred to the ICC in The Hague.'' Intelligence sources hope Mr Senussi will be able to provide the most detailed insight yet into the workings of the Gaddafi regime. He is also thought to know the whereabouts of military cells still loyal to the Gaddafi regime. The Sudanese-born spy chief was one of ''ahl al-Khaimah'' (people of the tent) - Gaddafi's closest entourage. US cables released by WikiLeaks also said he was in charge of Gaddafi's medical arrangements, a role, that the paranoid Libyan leader would entrust to only his most reliable lieutenants. Mr Senussi, 62, had a long-standing reputation for brutality. During the 1980s he was head of internal security, at a time when many of Gaddafi's opponents were killed. Libyans also hold him responsible for the massacre of 1200 inmates at the Abu Salim prison in 1996. Former prisoners have told Human Rights Watch that when prisoners staged a revolt to complain about poor prison conditions, Mr Senussi promised them safe treatment if they returned to their cells, but when they did so they were then shot and killed by security forces When the Libyan uprising broke out a year ago, Mr Senussi was believed to have played a key role in organising the regime's defence, especially the ruthless violence that greeted the revolt in Benghazi.
