Jailed Bulgarian Nurses To Meet Relatives For Christmas

Relatives of the five Bulgarian nurses sentenced to death in Libya will travel to Tripoli for Christmas, reports say.

One representative of the family of each nurse will receive a visa for the trip, the Bulgarian news agency announced.

The state will cover the expenses of the five.

In May 2004 Libya found the five Bulgarian health workers and a Palestinian doctor guilty of having caused the death of 40 children and of infecting almost 400 others with HIV at the Benghazi hospital. The nurses were sentenced to death by a firing squad, sparkling cries of foul from Bulgaria and its allies the United States and the European Union.
