Bloggers rally for liberation of the "Tripoli Six": Bloggers have rallied around a call from a humanitarian lawyers' organization for greater international pressure to free six medical workers who risk execution by firing squad in Libya on charges of deliberately infecting over 400 children with HIV. [...]
The case involves five Bulgarian nurses and a Palestinian doctor, who are charged with deliberately infecting more than 400 children with HIV at the Al-Fateh Hospital in Benghazi, Libya, in 1998, causing the deaths of at least 40 of them.
Scientists say the outbreak resulted from natural infections and that it had started before the medics began working at the hospital.
