The Sofia District Court (SRC) issued a petition against a preventive measure signed by one of the protesters arrested during the September 2 demonstration: Plamen Stoyanov, BTA reported.
The man was charged with two counts of causing minor bodily harm to a police officer during the performance of his duties or in relation to him and of vandalism accompanied by resistance against a public authority.
The court held that a reasonable assumption could be made about the first count.
Regarding the second act, the magistrate indicated that the man had been removed from the meeting and that he had been arrested and handcuffed.
It is completely normal for the detainee to have a more reactive response by restricting his right to move, the judge commented, adding that this natural reaction cannot be dressed in a pattern of vandalism, the court reported.
The magistrate also stated that the two acts for which Stoyanov was accused were not serious within the meaning of the Penal Code. The defendant has not been convicted, has an established identity and a permanent address, there is no danger of flight, the judge said. According to him, any measure heavier than a subscription is unfounded.
The decision is not final and can be protested.
The move by Alexander Branekov, the famous former soccer player, was postponed to 15:15, a journalist told Novini.bg.
The former CSKA and Lokomotiv Sofia defender was filmed throwing cobblestones at the police in front of the new parliament.
