Libya sentences medics to death over Aids infections
International observers had been monitoring the trial in the coastal city of Benghazi, where the Bulgarians, five nurses and a doctor, were employed at a hospital when they were arrested in February, 1999.
Prosecutors had demanded death sentences, accusing the Bulgarians of intentionally infecting the children with HIV-contaminated blood as part of an experiment to find a cure for Aids. Twenty-three of the children reportedly have since died of Aids.
