Libiju kritiziraju organizacije koje prate ljudska prava i drugi zbog ignoriranja naučnih dokaza koji pokazuju da je do izbijanja infekcije HIV-om u bolnici Al-Fateh u Bengaziju došlo najmanje godinu dana prije dolaska optuženih 1998. godine.
Libya has been criticised by international rights watchdogs and others for ignoring scientific evidence showing that the outbreak of the HIV infection at the Al-Fateh Hospital in Benghazi predated the defendants' 1998 arrival by at least a year.
