Ali Zeidan (sometimes written as Zidan; Arabic: علي زيدان; born 5 December 1950)[citation needed] is a former Prime Minister of Libya. He was appointed by the General National Congress on 14 October 2012, and took office on 14 November after Congress approved his cabinet nominees.[2][3] Prior to the Libyan Civil War, Zeidan was a Geneva-based human rights lawyer.[4] According to the BBC, he is considered by some local observers as a strong-minded liberal.[5] He was ousted by the parliament committee and fled from Libya on 14 March 2014.[6] However, he told a press conference in Rabat, Morocco, that the ousting was invalid.[7]
