Benita Ferrero-Waldner, EU commissioner for Foreign Relations and Neighborhood Policy, sent a letter to Libya's European Affairs secretary asking him to "review and annul" the death sentences declared Dec. 19, the Sofia News Agency reported Friday.
Five Bulgarian women and one Palestinian doctor were sentenced to death for deliberately infecting 400 Libyan children with HIV virus in a Benghazi hospital in 1998.
The Bulgarian government said Friday it has arranged meetings among the five nurses and their relatives next month in Tripoli. One Bulgarian relative of each nurse is to travel to Libya, the agency said.
