Ihsanoglu: treatment to Gadhafi was inhumane
RIYADH (A.A) – October 28, 2011 – Secretary General Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu of the Organization of the Islamic Cooperation (OIC) said on Friday that the treatment towards ousted Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi was inhumane.
"There is no excuse for such treatment. Moreover, everybody wished that he was captured and taken to court", added Ihsanoglu in an exclusive interview with AA.
"Gadhafi should be brought before court in his country because he cruelly killed people without judgement and defense during his 40-year rule. He supported terrorist movements not only in his country but also in many other countries. Thus, this cannot be forgotten and ignored", said Ihsanoglu.
However, this was not an appropriate end for him. It did not comply with Libyan people. It also did not comply with Islamic manners and war rules, added Ihsanoglu.
On October 20, Gadhafi was killed by National Transition Council forces near Sirte.
Regarding Arab Spring, Ihsanoglu said that this process, this transformation and this wind of change would continue to blow, adding that Arab Spring was in fact the autumn and winter of dictators.
Commenting on recent developments in Tunisia, Ihsanoglu said that a new period has begun in Tunisia following the recent successful general elections.
Stressing that it had been the first multi-party election in the history of Tunisia, Ihsanoglu said that a transformation was experienced in a very short time in Tunisia, but it would not be that much easy in other countries.
Ennahda party, which won the general elections in Tunisia, received 41.47 percent of votes.
Regarding the massive earthquake which hit Turkey's eastern province of Van on Sunday, Ihsanoglu said that OIC sent a letter to Turkish Premier Recep Tayyip Erdogan and said it was ready to help.
Noting that Turkish state immediately took action after the quake, Ihsanoglu said that OIC and humanitarian aid organizations working together with OIC stated they were ready to extend support to Turkey, but it was understood that Turkey had the force to overcome this difficulty with its own facilities.
Turkish Prime Ministry Disaster & Emergency Management Directorate (AFAD) said that as of 9:30 p.m. today, the death toll was 550, and the number of injured people was 2,555 in the earthquake measuring 7.2 on Richter scale in Van.
