A Libyan court has sentenced five Bulgarian nurses and a Palestinian doctor to death for knowingly infecting hundreds of Libyan children with HIV.
The medics have been in detention since 1999, during which time 52 of the 426 infected children have died of Aids.

The nurses and doctor were sentenced to death in 2004, but the Supreme Court quashed the ruling after protests over the fairness of the trial.

The defendants say they are being made scapegoats for unhygienic hospitals.

Defence lawyers said the medics would appeal against the new verdict, expected to be the final appeal allowed under Libyan law.

The defence team told the court that the HIV virus was present in the hospital, in the town of Benghazi, before the nurses began working there in 1998.

The scientists there say the medics didnt do it.

Thoughts?

I read this online earlier. It's really scary to read what some of the Libyan officials have said about this case. That sane, assumably educated people could subscribe to such wild, outlandish theories is horrible and repugnant.

How can anyone take those pathetic idiots seriously?
