In the past I have commented on the case of the Tripoli Six - medical workers wrongly accused of deliberately infecting more than 400 children with HIV at the al-Fateh Hospital in Benghazi in 1998. As Revere and Janet note, a paper [pdf] just published in Nature has demonstrated that the most likely route of infection was poor hospital hygeine, probably before any of the health care workers were in Libya.
Please see Revere and Janet's posts for things you can do to make sure that the workers are not executed for a crime they did not commit.

The Libyan court is expected to rule on the case tomorrow.
