A Romani father and son became the latest victims of Bulgarian police brutality when they were set up and badly beaten near their home in the village of Bohot in Pleven province on Thursday 13 April.
Moments after the men parked their car to collect kindling in a nearby wood, they were surrounded by a group of local police officers, who ordered them to lie on the ground, then proceeded to beat them with batons and repeatedly kick them.
The son survived this brutal assault, sustaining serious injuries, which included a broken arm, broken ribs and bruising and contusions all over his body. The father, who had a heart condition and a pacemaker fitted, was not so fortunate, and died at the scene of this ferocious assault.
