Over 30 people gathered outside the Bulgarian Embassy in London yesterday to show solidarity with Jock Palfreeman as part of an International Day of Action to highlight his situation. Jock is a young Australian lad who went to the aid of two Roma boys who were being attacked by a racist gang and who is now serving 20 years in a Bulgarian prison.

At yesterday’s London demo, banners were hung on the railings of the Bulgarian Embassy and pictures of Jock put on display. Hundreds of leaflets were given out during the 3 hour demo and a Bulgarian flag was also burned outside the Embassy.

How to get the Bulgarian people to see your side of the argument? Burn their flag outside their embassy.

Great tactics, guys.

Flag was burned at the specific request of Jock. Bulgarians we spoke to yesterday were sympathetic. We don't expect support from Bulgarian nationalists.
