France's 1st lady visits Bulgarian nurses hostage in Libya
Which shows that, contrary to what the sickening leader of the Front National, Jean-Marie Le Pen, was trying to insinuate a few months ago prior to the election, Nicholas Sarkozy's marriage is doing quite well, and the first lady herself is now making an important visit to the nurses who've been wrongfully imprisoned on what sound like very fake charges:
French First Lady Cecilia Sarkozy on Thursday visited five Bulgarian nurses sentenced to death in Libya for allegedly infecting hundreds of children with HIV, France's president said. Nicolas Sarkozy told reporters that on her trip his wife was also seeing Libyan leader Col. Moammar Gadhafi and meeting children infected with HIV.These women should be freed immediately, and Libya and Kaddafi should have sanctions imposed on them. Not only that, the Libyans should be condemned for torturing the victims into a forced confession for a crime they didn't commit.
Libya's official news agency Jana said the meeting with Gadhafi had taken place but gave no details. Jana said Cecilia Sarkozy expressed her sympathy with the plight of Libyan children infected with HIV.
The trip was Cecilia Sarkozy's first appearance on the international scene since her husband took office in May. As a campaign promise, he had promised to work to free the nurses.
A day earlier, Libya's Supreme Court upheld the death sentences of the Bulgarian nurses and a Palestinian doctor convicted of infecting more than 400 children with the AIDS virus. The six, who have been in Libyan custody since 1999, say they are innocent. Libyan court officials said they admitted to infecting the children, but some of the nurses have since said they confessed under beatings and torture.
