Amnesty International published its 2020/2021 Report on the State of the World's Human Rights on Wednesday and the part about Bulgaria reads that media freedom and freedom of association have further deteriorated, as authorities targeted journalists and critics, and cracked down on anti-government protests.

Locals in Bulgaria's three largest cities, Sofia, Plovdiv and Varna, were due to stage protests on Monday demanding the resignation of the powerful Prosecutor General, Sotir Tsatsarov.
