“The sentencing of Navalny is unacceptable and he must be freed immediately,” writes Prime Minister Boyko Borissov on Facebook, and adds that court trials must not be politicized. “The continuing violence against the peacefully protesting Russian citizens is inadmissible,” Borissov writes further.

“The court ruling to jail Navalny after treatment abroad and after the attempted poisoning is totally unacceptable,” Foreign Minister Ekaterina Zaharieva writes on Twitter. “We call for the observance of the decisions of the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms, the right to a fair trial is a fundamental, inalienable human right,” adds Ekaterina Zaharieva, as quoted by the Bulgarian Foreign Ministry.
