No prosecution following skinhead attack in Samokov

By Liz Fekete

1 March 1997

The Human Rights Project is concerned that no one has been arrested after a group of about 20 skinheads attacked three Roma in the town of Samokov in west-central Bulgaria.

The group surrounded the victims in the street and kicked and beat them with clubs. One man managed to escape and called the police. Now the Human Rights Project has written to the police, the prosecutor's office and the minister of the interior demanding action.
