Hundreds of Libyan children participated in a protest in front of Tripoli international airport to express support for the relatives of the more than 400 Libyan children infected with HIV at the Benghazi hospital for infectious diseases. Five Bulgarian nurses face a death sentence on charges of deliberately causing the infection. The meeting was organised because of December 1, international AIDS Day.
The Bulgarians appealed against their death sentences but recently Libya's Supreme Court postponed pronouncing the final verdict until January 31 2006, Novinar newspaper reported.
Starting early yesterday morning, children, students and representatives of the association of the parents of the infected children gathered in front of the airport to remind the international community about the fate of the infected children. Fifty-one of the children have already died. The protesters said that the people who committed the grave crime should be punished.
