Bulgarian Medics are FREE!!

In case you aren't watching bTV or CNN, I'm just passing out the update that, after 8 years, the Bulgarian medics are free! They had been sentenced to death, then a retrial emerged with the same results. THEN they were gratned life in prison, and finally were sent to Bulgaria to serve out their imprisonment. Upon their arrival, President Georgi Purvanov immediately pardoned them.

At this time, it is unclear who the financial benefactors were, as both the EU and France claim to have not contributed financially to the cause. I'm including a few links in case you'd like to read more about it!

Way to report on this! Can you imagine their mental state? I'm so relieved for them. A little prayer.
