Dozens of protesters gathered in front of the Russian Embassy in Sofia to show their discontent with the detention of Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny.
“Alexei Navalny’s arrest was a brutal blow to democracy and a slap in the face to the Putin regime.Truth is Navalny’s only weapon, but people are arrested in Russia for telling the truth", participants at the protest said. The demonstration was organized by the Russian opposition activist Evgeny Chupov who sought political asylum in Bulgaria.
