On February 13th, young liberals from more than twenty European countries will publicly manifest against the burdensome and complicated visa procedures which negatively affect the youth mobility on the European continent.

This initiative is part of a European wide campaign launched last year by the European Liberal Youth (LYMEC) in support of visa abolishment for students and tourists between EU countries and their European neighboring states.

A Libyan court has sentenced last 19 December five Bulgarian nurses and a Palestinian doctor to death by firing squad for intentionally infecting over 400 children with H.I.V. The medical workers were originally sentenced to death in May 2004. However, after energetic protests by international human rights groups, Bulgaria, the US and the EU, Libya's Supreme Court overturned the death sentences and ordered a new trial. In addition to independent scientific evidence that the infections were caused by bad hygiene at the Benghazi hospital, there is also evidence of mistrial, with two of the five nurses saying that they were tortured into confessing.
