Libya’s Supreme Court said on Wednesday it will issue its final verdict next month on six foreign medics on death row for allegedly infecting children with Aids, but an official involved in the case said an out-of-court settlement could be reached as early as this week.
Six foreign medics sentenced to death for infecting Libyan children with Aids launched their final appeal on Wednesday after more than eight years behind bars for a crime they say they did not commit. As the hearing opened, relatives of the victims rallied outside the Tripoli courtroom, holding up pictures of their infected children.
