"A Uachtaráin, nuair a bhí an Pharlaimint ar athló i rith na Nollag agus na hAthbhliana, fuair cúig bhanaltraí ón mBulgáir cathróireacht ón Aontas Eorpach. Ag an am céanna, áfach, dúirt Cúirt sa Libia go raibh siad daortha chun báis. Tá siad cúisithe toisc go raibh baint acu le galrú 426 paistí le HIV in ionad Benghazi sa Libia.
Is é seo an dara triail sa chás seo, tar éis rialú ón gCúirt Uachtarach, ach tá a lán imní ann ó thaobh cóir agus neamhchaontacht na trialach.
It is now being reported that Mr Gaddafi intends to use this case as a political bargaining chip. He intends, it seems, to begin talks on revising the death sentence for the Bulgarian nurses on the condition that a Libyan convicted for the Lockerbie bombing in 1988 is released. This is nothing more than using people’s lives as political capital. The nurses have already been incarcerated for eight years and the sole purpose of this resolution must be to repeat calls for their unconditional release.
The defendants now have the right to appeal against their sentences. At this final stage of trial, the scientific evidence concerning the origin and timing of the Benghazi infection must be considered again without the presence of a biased or politically motivated Libyan expert panel to refute claims. I strongly support the idea of nominating an EU special rapporteur to this case to monitor and scrutinise the defendants’ appeal.
The reported use of torture to extract confessions from the defendants while in custody and the shameful delays during this trial process continue to be of serious concern to the EU. As Libya claims to intend to develop a positive relationship and engagement with the EU, we must make it clear that we in this Parliament attach significant importance to the treatment of our citizens in Libya and attach the highest priority to calls for their unconditional release."@en1
