The protesters called for the release of opposition leader Alexei Navalny. The protest was organized by Russians living in Bulgaria who condemn the regime of Vladimir Putin. The protesters carried posters and chanted “No war!”. They stated their support for the political prisoners in Russia and all people who have been repressed because they have expressed their views freely. Similar protests also took place in other towns across Bulgaria.
