The British lawyer representing Saif al Islam Gaddafi condemned the death sentence handed down against his client, saying it is a mock trial.
On Tuesday, a Tripoli court sentenced a number of ex-regime officials, including the son of Muammar Gaddafi, to death sentence in absentia.
The trial has been declared illegal by Libya's own justice minister, said British trial lawyer John Jones, who has led efforts to have Gaddafi brought to the international tribunal in The Hague, where he would not face the death penalty.
Saif al Islam was ordered to face a firing squad for his role in trying to quash the 2011 revolution that led to his father's ouster.
Since his capture, he was being held in Zintan during the start of the trial last year and joined three of the 24 trial sessions by video link, but he has not been seen or heard from since June 2014.
