Chief prosecutor Luis Moreno-Ocampo and deputy prosecutor Fatou Bensouda arrived in Tripoli on Tuesday following the arrest of both men. The ICC issued arrest warrants for both men in June.
Moreno-Ocampo said in a statement Tuesday that both men “must face justice.”
“The issue of where the trials will be held has to be resolved through consultations with the Court. In the end, the ICC judges will decide, there are legal standards which will have to be adhered to,” the statement said.
Seif was captured Saturday in southern Libya and is being held by fighters there. A local spokesman for Libya’s new leadership says former intelligence chief Abdullah Al-Senoussi also was captured over the weekend and is being held in the city of Sabha.
Seif and Al-Senussi have been charged with crimes against humanity for their alleged roles in the brutal crackdown on dissent that started in February.
Rights groups have called on Libya to hand both men over for trial in The Hague.
