The five Bulgarian nurses and Palestinian doctor accused of infecting hundreds of Libyan children with HIV are to face a new trial next month:
The Bulgarian foreign ministry said the trial in Libya would begin on 11 May.
In December, Libya’s Supreme Court overturned death sentences and ordered a retrial for the medics who say they were tortured into confessing.
It is alleged that they deliberately used HIV-tainted blood on children at a hospital in Benghazi in the 1990s.
