I cannot believe I missed this terrific news a week ago. The five Bulgarian nurses and Palestinian doctor who have been falsely imprisoned and tortured for 8 1/2 years in Libya have been freed. They arrived in Bulgaria last week. Their story is a dark one for not just their lives, but for for medical science hoping to bring light into the world only to be snuffed out by fear and ignorance. Despite the near certainty they would all be put to death, they are now free (via Aetiology)
