Official Warns of Political Trial Against Bulgarians in Libya

May 8, 2001

Bulgaria's foreign minister told Arab ambassadors yesterday that Libya is preparing a political trial against six Bulgarians accused of deliberately infecting children with HIV. The six -- five nurses and one doctor -- have been under arrest since February 1999. A Libyan prosecutor wants the death penalty for the accused, who were working at a hospital in Benghazi when they allegedly infected 393 children with HIV. The trial, which has been adjourned 11 times, is set to begin May 13.
