There were no significant changes in the human rights situation in Bulgaria during the year, reads the US Department of State’s 2023 Country Report on Human Rights Practices. ''Significant human rights issues included credible reports of: torture or cruel, inhuman, or degrading treatment or punishment by the government or on behalf of the government; serious problems with the independence of the judiciary; serious government corruption; crimes, violence, or threats of violence motivated by antisemitism’’, the report further reads.
The State Department mainly refers to NGOs such as the Anti-Corruption Fund, the Bulgarian Helsinki Committee and the Association of European Journalists. The report also recalls the police violence against demonstrators during the protest against the Bulgarian Football Union in November 2023
