I am glad that these nurses and the doctor avoided death sentence. Thanks to EU! I do not believe that they would intentionally infect children with HIV.
LONDON, July 24 --Five Bulgarian nurses and a Palestinian doctor flew to freedom Tuesday after more than eight years in a Libyan prison, receiving a presidential pardon and bouquets of flowers at an emotional arrival ceremony in the Bulgarian capital of Sofia.
"I waited so long for this moment," nurse Snezhana Dimitrova told reporters at the airport, where she and the other captives were reunited with family following an ordeal during which they had been sentenced to death after being convicted of intentionally infecting more than 400 Libyan children with the AIDS virus.
