Four of five Bulgarian nurses and a Palestinian doctor sit at a court in Tripoli, Libya, in this May 11, 2006 file picture. Libya's High Judicial Council will meet on Monday, July 16, 2007, to decide whether to uphold, overturn or commute the death sentences on six foreign medics, Libya's foreign minister said on July 11, 2007. The five Bulgarian nurses and a Palestinian doctor were sentenced to death in December after being convicted of infecting 426 Libyan children with the HIV virus while they worked at a children's hospital in the city of Benghazi in the 1990s.
