Bulgaria: Sarkozy's Wife Visits Libya-Jailed Bulgarian Medics, Qaddafi

The wife of the French president has met for the second time Libyan leader Colonel Muammar Qaddafi after paying a surprise visit to the jailed Bulgarian medics, RFI reported.

In her first appearance on the international scene as wife of French President Nicolas Sarkozy Cecilia Sarkozy reiterated her husband's plea for the medics release.

The visit came shortly after Libya's Supreme Court confirmed the verdicts of the five Bulgarian nurses and a Palestinian doctor, sentenced to death for infecting children with HIV.

It was the medics' final appeal in a case, which has gripped public attention in both Libya and Bulgaria and sparked a public outcry across the European Union and the United States.

Libya's Supreme Judicial Council will convene on July 16 to have the final word on the death sentences. The nine-member body, which is headed by the minister of justice, could approve or reject the convictions or set a lighter sentence.
