The European
Court of Justice (ECJ) on Tuesday ordered that a travel ban imposed on the
daughter of former Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi be lifted.
The EU had
imposed sanctions during the Libyan revolution in February 2011, banning Mr.
Gaddafi and members of his family from entering or transiting through EU member
states.
The travel
ban was renewed in June 2014.
The ban was
challenged by Mr. Gaddafi’s daughter, Aisha, who currently lives in Oman with
her family.
The ECJ said
the European Council had justified the ban by citing the involvement of Gaddafi
loyalists in the use of force, repression and violent attack against civilians.
The court
found that not enough information as to Aisha Gaddafi’s “individual, specific
and concrete role,” was made available to support the ban.
