Freedom For The Bulgarian Medics In Libya!
 

Welcome to GFY :) Freedom for them!

Thanks:thumbsup

I've just read your post...and what's the reason of the executions?

Yeah fucked up situation

Six Bulgarian medics were sentenced to death by firing squad in Libya on 6th of May for infecting patients with the HIV virus after a trial described by the EU as flawed. Libyan police arrested the Bulgarians in February 1999. They were in prison until September 2002, when a high tribunal in the Libyan capital, Tripoli, acquitted them of conspiracy charges and handed the case over to an ordinary criminal court. They were then placed under house arrest in Tripoli until being detained again when their trial recommenced in the eastern city of Benghazi in September. An experts? poor hygiene at the Benghazi hospital likely led to the contamination, and estimated it happened in 1997 - more than a year before the Bulgarians were hired to work there. But a commission of court-appointed Libyan doctors rejected the Western expert?s testimony and said the Bulgarians wilfully infected the children with the virus through blood transfusions.............

Gotta love the Platnuium Bucks Sig......

Five nursing staff and a Palestinian doc were sentenced to death in mid 2004 for supposedly infecting children with HIV - and that this was *knowingly* done.

There have also been allegations that the CIA and Mossad were involved tho a fair weight of evidence suggests that the subtype of HIV involved was affecting folks before the alleged date of the offenses. About 50 of 420 infected children have since died.

The truth is another issue - tho a settlement is on offer to quosh the issues - namely 10mill Euros ($13 mill) be paid to each of the victim families by the respective governments of the six people involved. Of course - they have refused so far to pay a dime.

Doubt any death sentence will be carried out - it's the usual mind games people and govt's play.
