Police has been guarding the Sofia Court House and the Turkish Embassy in Sofia throughout the whole night due to protests of Bulgarian motormen. Bikers from all parts of the country have been protesting in the past few days against the Bulgarian court, insisting that the authorities should bring a Turkish national, who killed a man and his wife on the road near the town of Dragoman, back to Bulgaria. Last week the Sofia City Court released the Turkish citizen from custody and put him on house arrest. However, the man escaped from the authorities. The protests of Bulgarian motormen continue.
