Prosecutors in Libya called for the death sentence for seven health workers, six Bulgarian and one Palestinian, accused of spreading AIDS in a children's hospital in the northern Libyan town of Benghazi, Bulgarian radio reported. The state stood by its charge that two doctors - one Palestinian and one Bulgarian - and five Bulgarian nurses infected 426 children in a Benghazi hospital with HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, with tainted blood products. For the first time since the start of their long-running trial representatives from Amnesty International were present in court, along with representatives from the nine European embassies in Libya.
