Despite evidence showing that the outbreak at the Al-Fateh children's hospital in Benghazi in 1998 was most likely caused by poor hygiene and that it predated the medics' arrival there by at least a year, Libya's Supreme Court upheld the death sentences earlier this month.
Unatoč dokazima koji pokazuju kako je epidemija u dječjoj bolnici Al-Fateh u Benghaziu 1998. godine vjerojatno bila izazvana lošim higijenskim uvjetima, te je izbila najmanje godinu dana prije dolaska medicinara u bolnicu, vrhovni sud Libije potvrdio je smrtne kazne ranije ovog mjeseca.
