Libya: Sarkozy's Wife Meets Detained Nurses

The New York Times - July 13, 2007
Craig S. Smith

Cecilia Sarkozy, the wife of France's new president, Nicolas Sarkozy, visited five Bulgarian nurses in Tripoli, Libya, who have been sentenced to death for infecting more than 400 children with H.I.V. Mr. Sarkozy told reporters in Epinal, France, that she would meet with the Libyan leader, Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi, Thursday night. On Wednesday, Libya's Supreme Court upheld the death sentences, although an independent investigation has found that the infections were caused by unsanitary conditions. In Benghazi, where she met with families of the children, Ms. Sarkozy said that her visit was "not official" but that she had been sent "as a mother," Agence France-Presse reported.
