Bulgarian Medics in Libya: Free at Last?
by Staff
November 2, 2005—Five Bulgarian medics and a Palestinian doc, all on death row in Libya for allegedly infecting 400 Libyan children with HIV, may soon go free, according to Arab diplomats close to the Libyan government. The source, cited in a London-based Arabic newspaper, alleges that a deal sponsored by the U.S. and the European Union will be announced shortly. Bulgaria’s foreign minister reiterated that his government will not pay directly because it takes no responsibility for the infections.
