Victor Stoyanov, chairman of the Macedonia Foundation has reported an incident involving an attack against a Bulgarian from Ohrid – Yane Murgoski.

Murgoski was attacked by Macedonian police at his home.

“The police were called to the home of the victim over a verbal domestic altercation between himself and 20-year old males. When they did come, the police beat him up, in the course of 10 minutes, for which there are medical records. Two of the police officers have been detained. Yane Murgoski’s father is a Macedonian writer, a Bulgarian, who published a book a week ago about the first Bulgarian association in Macedonia. I believe there is a connection between the beating and his father’s work as a writer, which is connected with Bulgarians in Macedonia and their fight for political and human rights,” Stoyanov says.
