Hello, everyone,


Several decades ago my nation, Bulgaria, was subject to one of the most disgusting defrauds of world public opinion. Three Bulgarian citizens were accused of plotting to assasinate the Pope. One of them was brought to trial. Later he was released due to "lack of evidence".

Now this person is a nervous wreck, and Bulgarians carry the label of pope-killers.

Recently it was publicly admitted that Bulgarian involvement was only a theory of some foreign intelligence services. However, the harm was done, and it has affected, directly or indirectly, generations of Bulgarians.

Today there is another monstrous accusation against Bulgarian citizens. Five hospital nurses have been accused of deliberately infecting more than 400 children with AIDS in a Libyan hospital where they were employed.

In a Libyan court trial that has been going on for more than 5 years, they have been recently found guilty of that inhuman crime and sentenced to death by firing squad. This was done regardless of evidence that they have been systematically tortured to extort confession, and in spite of analysis submitted to court by leading world AIDS experts, proving that infection was due to poor hygiene and management in Libyan hospitals, and had started before the Bulgarian nurses came to work there.

Libya has affirmed many times that it will ensure a just and fair trial. Given this, Bulgaria has not interfered in any way so far except for encouraging our citizens and helping the defence in court.

However, it seems that Libyan assurances have had only one purpose: to distract our attention so that Libya could use the trial for solving its domestic and foreign policy problems. Now we are compelled to act.


We, the citizens of Bulgaria, declare the following:

1. We will not agree to be labeled as a nation infecting children with AIDS because of someone deciding to solve his own problems on our back.

2. We insist that the nurses be found not guilty and immediately released. We do not accept the "lack of evidence" formula.

3. We feel compassion for the children who have been infected with AIDS and their families. As a responsible member of the international community, our nation has been supporting, and will continue to support, all international actions aimed at fighting this plague of our time.

4. We insist that those whose actions or negligence have caused the infection in the Libyan hospital, be brought to justice. We also insist that those who have tortured our citizens be tried and punished. We are convinced that letting the true criminals go unrevealed would create a dangerous precedent of international scale.

5. We insist that those who have conceived and organized this fraudulent "trial" be exposed and denounced by the international community.

We will not end up being the victims of the next major defraud of world public opinion!

Neither will we agree to surrender Bulgarian citizens as hostages to someones interests!

The sentences are being appealed.

Please give us your vote of support, in any way you can!

I am bringing this to your attention in the name of my nation,


Miss Smith
