Five Bulgarian nurses and a Palestinian doctor arrived in Sofia, Bulgaria today after eight and a half years in prison in Libya.

FAMILIES of Libyan children infected with Aids have accepted more than $400 million (€290m) in compensation, a move which could lead to a death sentence on six foreign medics being lifted.

THE Bulgarian Medics Solidarity Project (BMSP) is a group working to support six innocent people - five Bulgarian nurses and one Palestinian doctor - who are facing their seventh Christmas in prison and their second under sentence of death.
