The court refused to accept evidence suggesting the outbreak predated the medics' 1998 arrival in Libya by at least a year, and was likely due to poor hygenic conditions.
Sud je odbio prihvatiti dokaze koji ukazuju kako je epidemija izbila najmanje godinu dana prije dolaska medicinara u Libiju 1998. godine, te je vjerojatno bila prouzročena lošim higijenskim uvjetima.
