Bulgarian Medics Go on Trial in Libya

June 4, 2001

The long-delayed trial of five nurses and a doctor from Bulgaria began in Libya on Saturday. The six, who have been held since 1999, are charged with deliberately infecting 393 children with HIV. During the four-hour session, all six pleaded innocent and said they had been forced under duress to confess. One nurse claimed she had been tortured so severely that she attempted suicide.
