SLANDER TRIAL OF BULGARIA’S NURSES POSTPONED ONCE AGAIN
09:29 Mon 26 Mar 2007
 

The slander trial of the five Bulgarian nurses sentenced to death for HIV infection in Libya was postponed to April 22.

Libyan officers initiated the trial. The nurses previously said that officers tortured them into confessing guilt for the infection. Now the officers demand compensation and additional verdicts for the claims.

Bulgarian lawyer of the nurses Hari Haralambiev requested the delay in order to examine documents related to the case.

At the same time the first medical symposium dedicated to the fight against infectious diseases began in Tripoli, Bulgarian news agency BTA reported.

More than 30 medics from various hospitals will participate in the seminar. Its aim is to aid medical workers in Libya obtain higher qualifications and learn more about preventing the spread of infectious diseases.

Foreign virologists reported that the HIV infection that the Bulgarian nurses are blamed for resulted from poor hygiene in the hospital of Benghazi. The court in Tripoli found the nurses guilty and sentenced them to death in December 2006.

I believe that the only way that the prevention of HIV infections in Libya can take place is with very guarded comments. For instance, when the Bulgarian nurses complained about the practice of reusing syringes they were threatened by the Libyan medical authority in Benghazi. This type of threatening always happens in totalitarian societies. The real threat in terms of the spread of HIV is this prevention of open communications that comes from the fear of living under a dictator. If a doctor likely says an inappropriate comment at such a conference in Libya, he or she is likely never to be seen again. What if Libyan medical people were to ask why they have to buy their supplies on the black market which were originally intended for the hospital where they work? Why should medical personnel in Libya have to buy blood on the black market? These are unbelievable practices that can only exist as a result of the selfishness of kaddafi. What if these attendees at the medical conference in Libya ask where does the profits of the supplies on the black market go? Of course they go to kaddafi. This is a dictator that doesn't even care about his people. I feel sorry for anyone that lives in an oppressive regime such as this and has to go through the lip service of attending a conference which they aren't allowed to speak freely. When the Libyan people realize how badly the spread of HIV in their country actually is, then will be the time they may take action. kaddafi arresting the nurses was his only recourse (cover-up) to prevent the Libyan parents from knowing what he has done to their children. And now a conference to help support that he is doing something to fight HIV in Libya. Only when medical personnel are free to voice their true ideas will there be a real effort to prevent HIV in Libya. The only way that will occur is when kaddafi and his retarded son are not in power. www.creativehat.com My movie INJECTION is at http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=5182317638126553942&q=injection&hl=en
