Carr in Libya to press for lawyer release FOREIGN Minister Bob Carr has arrived in Libya to press for the release of Australian lawyer Melinda Taylor, who is being held after meeting the son of dead dictator Muammar Gaddafi. Shortly after his arrival today, Mr Carr met interim Prime Minister Abdel Rahim al-Kib and was also due to meet other senior government officials, Kib's office said. Mr Carr is expected to push for the release of Ms Taylor and International Criminal Court (ICC) colleagues from Lebanon, Russia and Spain, who were detained on June 7 as they helped Seif al-Islam choose a defence lawyer. Libyan officials have alleged that Ms Taylor was carrying a pen camera and attempted to give Seif a coded letter from his former right-hand man, Mohammed Ismail, who is on the run. The Hague-based ICC wants to try Seif, 39, for crimes against humanity. Mr Carr, who was in the region after attending a meeting of the Non-Proliferation and Disarmament Initiative in Istanbul, said he would press the case that the ICC envoys enjoy legal immunity. "I am cautious about commenting on the specifics of the allegations, and have modest expectations from the talks today," he said ahead of his meetings in Tripoli. But we will press the case that Ms Taylor is in Libya under the mandate of the ICC and United Nations Security Council, and this mandate provides a legal immunity. On Friday, the UN Security Council expressed "serious concern" over Libya's detention of the four. It reminded the Libyan authorities that they have to cooperate with the ICC under UN resolutions on the conflict last year that led to Gaddafi's overthrow.
