Jailed medics need our support

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.

Their fate is in the hands of the Libyan leader, Col Gaddafi. Numerous political and diplomatic initiatives are under way to secure their release.

It may seem there is nothing ordinary people can do to affect the outcome of this appalling miscarriage of justice. But there is something that the BMSP is asking readers to do: send a greeting and expression of support to the Benghazi Six this Christmas.
