The details remained scarce, and the government initially denied that an incident had taken place. Libyan groups outside the country said up to 1,200 prisoners had died. In 2001 and 2002, Libyan authorities began to inform some families with a relative in Abu Salim that their family-member had died, although they did not provide the body or details on the cause of death.

The interviews focused on their individual cases, and all of them said that conditions in the prison had recently improved. In June 2004 and again in June 2006, however, Human Rights Watch interviewed a former Abu Salim prisoner who claims to have witnessed the killings. ...

The Supreme Court said that the international obligations for extradition must be honoured. • Portugal outlaws death penalty since the late 19th century. • Salem was extradited to India on a condition that he won't be handed over a death penalty and won't serve jail term for over 25 years. • Salem used to work for Dawood Ibrahim and he parted ways with him in 1998 after friction with Chhota Shakeel.
