The case of the six Bulgarian medics sentenced to death for the deliberate HIV infection of more than 400 children in Libya may be closer to resolution.
The Gaddaffi Foundation, led by one of the sons of Libyan leader Muammar Gaddaffi, announced that the families of the infected children had agreed to accept financial compensation.
Saleh Abdussalam, director of the foundation, said that an acceptable compromise with the families had been reached.
The agreement was satisfactory for all the parties involved in the case and would put an end to the crisis, he said, as quoted by Agence France-Presse (AFP).
Earlier, the lawyer for the medics, Hari Haralambiev, said that Libyas supreme court may confirm the medics death sentences at its July 11 sitting.
The judges would need extraordinary bravery to overcome the prejudices in the country and to pronounce the medics not guilty, which was the only fair and reasonable sentence, he told Darik Radio.
Haralambiev also said that the court may decide to postpone the verdicts pronouncement.
The Libyan lawyer for the medics, Osman Bizanti, said that no one could predict what the final decision of the Supreme Court would be. He said that the court had no reason to postpone its verdict.
