Injustice Righted

I haven’t been happy about much in the public sphere lately, but the release today of all the Bulgarian medics (now that the Palestinian doctor has also been granted Bulgarian citizenship) in Libya lifted my spirits enormously. The end of a long drawn-out gross injustice to six medics who were made scapegoats for another sad injustice to several hundred Libyan children who were infected with AIDS. I am sorry that it took eight years to finally release them, but we have to thank God for small mercies. This one finally ended happily, at least for the medics. The families of the children and the surviving children themselves will continue to suffer the injustice that was inflicted on them by a negligent healthcare system that failed them and so many more people. I pray that they finally receive the care and the compassion that they rightly deserve.

Facebook rocks!

The fast-changing world of the Internet has introduced me to facebook - and thats where I have been squirreled away for the past few weeks! But as they say in Arabic, "he who has no old, has no new", so I hope to be back on blogger soon, when the novelty of facebook wears off (and I've found a zillion old friends)!
