Secretary of Foreign Liaison and International Cooperation has stressed that those accused in the case of injecting Libyan children with HIV were given the chance for the past nine years to file a suit before Libyan Judiciary and according to the provisions of the Libyan Law.

He said that this case is still under consideration within the court and that the Supreme Judiciary Council alone is the one to ratify the Court's rulings.

He pointed out that the stances of some European countries regarding the court's ruling in this case in unfair.

" On one hand , they request transparency and fairness of Judiciary, but when they realize the fairness and transparency of judiciary, they demand the state's interference in the work of judiciary, " he explained.

He made clear that Libya has made contacts with regional and international organization, being a member of these organizations, to take a stand in facing this European unjust stance.

He stressed that no one in Libya can interfere in the work of judicial system, even the Leader of the Revolution, himself, can not interfere in the laws and rulings issued by the Libyan Judiciary.

" We are moving forward in the humanitarian and legal direction , and even in the political and media direction , we can answer them and we are not afraid of any one," he said.

The Secretary reiterated that the independence of Libyan Judicial System is a red line, being part of our independence and sovereignty and we can never accept interference in its affairs.

Gadhafi Foundation for Development, the negotiator between the families and Bulgaria, said in a press statement that Pressures by Europeans on Libya will have a negative impact on the situation of the nurses and the Palestinian doctor and will take the case out of its legal and judiciary context to the political arena.

? Any EU sanctions on Libya will have a bad impact on the relations between Libya and the EU bloc.? The statement warned.
