Libya's travesty

Article Abstract:

The Bush administration's lack of progress in response to the medicos' case in Libya, which involves six medical workers from Britain and the US who risk execution by firing squad, is an insult to the basic democratic principles that the US and the European Union follow. The scientific community should lend their full support to the call by 'Lawyers without Borders', a voluntary organization, not only to save the doctor and nurses, but also to defend a common vision of science and law in establishing the truth.

Libya and human values

Article Abstract:

The unjust decision by a Libyan judge to sentence six health professionals to death related to the charge of deliberately infecting more than 400 children with HIV in 1998 met with huge international outcry as evidence suggest that children were infected long before the medics even began working at the hospital. The case of the health professionals is a scientific one, and the protestations of the global scientific community are a defense not of Western values, but of universal and fundamental values.
