| Five Bulgarian nurses and a Palestinian doctor who had their death sentences for contaminating Libyan children with HIV overturned left Tripoli for Bulgaria today, France's presidential palace said. A delegation from Paris including Cécilia Sarkozy, the wife of the French president, and Benita Ferrero-Waldner, the EU commissioner for foreign affairs, arrived in Libya at the weekend to negotiate their return home. France had been seeking the return of the six - in jail for the past eight years - as a final goodwill gesture from Libya after it commuted their death sentences in favour of life in prison. |
