Toma Nikolaev Mladenov, editor of DeFacto, a Roma newspaper and website which has exposed anti-Roma racism in Bulgaria, is in custody in the UK, and threatened with being extradited to Bulgaria where he is facing victimisation from the police for successfully suing for discrimination, namely a one year sentence for a charge he was found innocent of: he was prosecuted a second time while absent and without representation. He has also received bomb threats and does not feel safe returning to Bulgaria. A demonstration will take place outside Westminster Magistrates Court, London at 11am on Thursday 25 October; the Trades Council has received a request from Cambridge activists involved in supporting Toma’s case to publicise this information.
