For the 5th consecutive day citizens of Bulgaria's Asenovgrad will hold a protest against Roma aggression in the town. 

The reason was an incident from the beginning of the week when young people from the local rowing club were attacked and beaten by residents of the Roma neighborhood of Loznitsa. On Friday, the District Court decided to leave nine suspects under arrest. 

They are facing charges of hooliganism  with a high degree of arrogance and cynicism involved. Some of them are also facing charges of attempted murder and murder threats.
