Hague Conference Targets Russian War Crimes in Ukraine
The Netherlands, in collaboration with key international partners, is spearheading a conference in The Hague aimed at addressing the war crimes perpetrated by Russia in Ukraine
Approached to comment on the developments in Libya, Snezhana Dimitrova, one of the five Bulgarian nurses who spent over 8 years in a Libyan jail accused of deliberately infecting children with HIV, has said that the dictator must be brought to justice for his misdeeds.
"Muammar Gaddafi belongs in the Hague and he must be sued not only because he committed crimes against us but against his own people", Dimitrova said Tuesday.
At the same time, the Bulgarian nurse expressed her serious doubts that the tyrant would surrender.
Dimitrova added that there were no colleagues of her in Libya at the moment, and a friend of her who was not a medical worker, had already returned to Bulgaria.
When asked whether the five nurses and doctor Zdravko Georgiev planned to sue Gaddafi, she explained that she had not thought about this and "Maybe we should get together and discuss the matter and come up with a common decision. I will abide by the decision on the matter. We must discuss all of the things that are happening."
Dimitrova also said that would not return to Libya to work k there even if the country switched to a democratic regime.
She admitted that she had suffered too much there and would prefer to stay home with her children and do her current job, which she said she found satisfying.
"My father is suffering a broken leg and I myself have medical issues so I would like to stay here with my family", the Bulgarian nurse shared.
The five Bulgarian nurses, along with doctor Geogiev, returned to Sofia at the end of July after spending more than eight years in jail over accusation of deliberately infecting about 400 Libyan children with HIV.
