French member of NGO Lawyers Without Borders Francois Carnied said that Libyan court would probably confirm the death sentences of the Bulgarian nurses accused of intentional HIV infection of more that 400 children.

Cantier attended  as an observer the last court sitting of the trial on September 12. Together with another lawyer form the organisation, he was expecting to be approved as a member of the defence team, Bulgarian National Radio (BNR) reported.

Cantier had several meetings with Libya's health ministry representatives to arrange his participation in the defence, but the issue remained unsolved, BNR said.

He said that the video presented during the September 12 court sitting was valueless as evidence of guilt. The video showed a search in the house of nurse Kristiana Vulcheva during which blood banks were found.

The defence was not informed about the new evidence and witnesses in order to prepare its statements, Cantier said.

New international analysis of the main evidence in the trial, the blood banks found, was needed, Cantier said.
