Politics | July 17, 2007, Tuesday // 00:00

The Libyan defender of the five Bulgarian nurses and the Palestinian doctor, whose death verdicts have been commuted to life imprisonment on Tuesday, said the judges' decision is a good outcome of the case that continued for more than eight years.

Lawyer Osman Bizanti expressed his hope that the law agreement with Tripoli, saying the defendants could serve their sentences in Bulgaria, will come into effect in a few days and the medics will be transferred to Sofia.

Bizanti has categorically said the claims of the six medics against their Libyan torturers are to be rejected by Libya's judiciary authorities and the officers will be found not guilty.
