Sofia News Agency provides an update to this Dhimmi Watch report.
Bulgaria's seaside city of Nessebar has announced the launch of a Christmas campaign in support of the nurses jailed in Libya.The initiative "You are not alone on Christmas" will be held under the patronage of the chairman of the local Municipal Council Dimitar Yankov.
Those willing could send their Christmas messages for the nurses in Libya, he said. The initiative will be launched officially on Monday, when the children's parliament will prepare the first care package for the nurses.
Hand-made postcards, a piece of Bulgarian shore in a box of sand, and seashells are among the presents prepared for the nurses. The idea is to give them some courage by showing them that millions of Bulgarians think of them and support them, Yankov said.
Five Bulgarian nurses and a Palestinian doctor were accused of infecting almost 400 Libyan children with HIV at the Bengazi hospital. A local jury sentenced the six to death in May 2004, sparkling international outrage.
This should be a priority for the E.U., that atrocious organization, that Big Market for European Man reduced to being homo economicus, that "rational actor" whose goal is Growth, whose Standard (in hoc signo....) is gold, and who pays no attention to national histories, languages, literatures, in the mad rush to dissolve into the Soppy All of the E.U.
And even more so for the United States to Bulgaria, that least offensive of nations, which has received nothing like the credit that should be its due for the behavior of its citizens during World War II, that has been a good ally to the United States, and that also has a far better sense of the menace of Islam than does, for example, confused and resentful-of-America Russia. Save those nurses. Tell Khaddafy that it will be as before he gave up his already-failing weapons programs -- no, not as before, but far far worse, if a hair on their head is touched. And as for his son, the one who plays soccer or owns a soccer team in Perugia, he can be banished from Italy forever -- and that's something he really couldn't stand.
Save them.
Hugh,

Pragmatism? Or dhimmitude?
In an attempt to soothe relations with Libya concerning “The Condemned Six of Benghazi”, Bulgarian editor Dimitar Hristov has decided to publish a volume of love poetry written by Libyan foreign minister Abdel Rahman Shalgham. Indeed, Mr. Hristov isn’t shy about his appeasement.
This gratuitous act by Mr. Hristov may placate some government officials in Libya, but it certainly hasn’t dampened the spirit of revenge demanded by relatives of the infected children.
A Ross-perot style rescue operation would be the way, methinks...
Does anyone know if the Palestinian doctor is Christain or Muslim?
Where are Amnesty Int'l and human rights watch and all the other fake human rights-civil-liberties outfits? I've haven't heard any of the usual sanctimonious denunciations of HR violations that we usually hear when Israel defends mildly itself, such as putting Marwan Barghouti in the clink for only five life sentences, when what he really deserves is a meeting with his 72 houris or --if such is his taste-- with the boys promised somewhere else in the Quran.
We won't hold our breath until AI and HRW speak up for these victims.
Hugh, thanks for the nice words, I'd like to point out that Bulgaria's tour de force in WWII exceeds in brilliance and heroism that of the danes. we were allies of the Reich and still - the danes saved 5000 jews, bulgaria saved 50 000. Few know about that, even fewer speak about it. SS officer in charge of the deportation in Sofia said "bulgarians are just ignorant of the jewish question"... what a kind ignorance indeed. we did not send a single soldier against the allies or Russia. what did we get? churchill gave us over to the russians, to keep Greece. what a world!?
and now again, hardly any attention is paid to that disaster - these nurses have rotten in jail, and even Luc Montagnier said they're not guilty. To no avail. It's almost fathomless... nobody cares really about that. the EU are just inadequate in their "efforts", the US too ...
adullam,
I wrote this article because I care a great deal about these people. The article did eventually make it to the Sofia News Agency.
Read it here.
If you could offer more information concerning the plight of these folks, I would truly appreciate it.
Thanks,
Eric
Hi Eric,
in fact there's a club on the bulgarian internet full of comments but it's all in bulgarian. http://clubs.dir.bg/postlist.php?Board=libia you can still try to register and ask your questions there in English. they'll answer you. the alternative is for me to dig into into the site or rise your questions and translate then for you. it's ok that way too. You can order there too your tee-shirt - "FREEDOM FOR THE BULGARIAN NURSES IN LYBIA", there'll be surely somebody to send it to you. I'd do it too, but I'm not in Bulgaria now.
THANK YOU ! you can contact me at benisrael-at-mail.bg
