Mohamed Abu al-Qasim al-Zwai

Mohamed Abu al-Qasim al-Zwai (born 14 May 1952) is a Libyan politician who was the last Secretary General of Libya's General People's Congress and thus the country's nominal head of state from 2010 until 2011. He replaced Imbarek Shamekh as the GPC secretary general. He was reportedly a longtime personal friend of Muammar Gaddafi and credited with first introducing Gaddafi to Abdessalam Jalloud, who was Libya's Prime Minister of Libya in the 1970s. As of 8 September 2011, he was in custody of the NTC forces.

In June 2013, Zwai was acquitted of wasting public money but remained incarcerated. In July 2015, he was sentenced to 12 years in prison. He was released in 2016 based on health grounds.
