Give the Innocent Nurses in Libya the Right to an Independent Trial

Result:
The six prisoners (including the Palestinian doctor) are back to Bulgaria and free.

Thanks to everyone who signed and supported the campaign.

Five innocent Bulgarian nurses and a Palestinian doctor have already spent 8 years in a Libyan prison. They were sentenced to death (for the second time) on December 19th, 2006.

The following signers formally petition and request the Supreme Court of Libya, the UN, the EU and US Congress to review and transfer this case and these healthcare workers to an Independent court and holding facility that is monitored by the Red Cross and has access to attorneys, such as The World Court in The Hague, because it involves an international focus and has enormous international consequences.
