A Bulgarian civil organisation has called to the government to submit the case of five Bulgarian medics on a death row in Libya to the International Criminal Court (ICC).

The activists from "Recommendation 1726" suggest that the world's recently established criminal court may hear also the parallel case on charges against Libyan torturers of the five women.

Journalists Velislava Dureva and Lili Marinkova, lawyer Vladimir Sheitanov, rhythmic coach and choreographer Neshka Robeva and other intellecatuals of Bulgaria have appealed for more pressure on Libya by the international community.

At a special press conference convened Thursday, the civil unionists condemned Tripoli's memorandum, released on December 30, and rejected the Libyan protests against the international wave of indignation at the confirmed death sentences.

"A dangerous international manipulation is under way - and Bulgaria is the worst affected by it, because it concerns the fate of innocent people," they said.

According to Velislava Dureva, the government in Tripoli mentored by Muammar Qaddafi has plotted the conspiracy theory a long time ago seeking to set a connection between the Lockerbie case and the Benghazi HIV/AIDS tragedy.

Arab press sources commented on the latest snubbing statements of Qaddafi as an execution of plan for "vengeance over the West".

Muammar Qadaffi wanted to exchange the medics for the Libyan terrorist sentenced for the Lockerbie airplane bombing, journalist Gasan Nasur revealed in Sofia.

Talking about the bargaining held with Tripoli in the period 2001-2003, Nasur revealed Libya had claimed a number of political conditions to set the Bulgarian medics free, including the Lockerbie convict. Later he had added the claim of the same amount of compensation for the families of the children as Libya had to pay to the families of the Lockerbie victims.
