FRENCH INVOLVEMENT IN LIBYAN AIDS CASE

Tue, Feb 07 2006 11:36 CET 317 Views

Sega newspaper reports on the international involvement in the Libyan HIV infection case. France will provide the medical treatment of 100 Libyan children infected with HIV. This is one of the provisions in a French plan for aiding the children and ending the trial of the five Bulgarian nurses imprisoned for the alleged deliberate infection of over 400 Libyan children with HIV.

The first 30 children will travel to Libya at the beginning of March. France is also expected to aid the modernisation of Libyan hospitals and to train medical personnel in the country as it lacks experience with AIDS patients.

Meanwhile, people in various European capitals will organise support rallies for the detained Bulgarian medics, representatives of the Lawyers without Borders organisation said. On Thursday, protests will take place in front of the Libyan embassies in Paris, Berlin and London. February 9 will mark seven-years of the Bulgarians' stay in Libyan prison.
