Free speech for Bulgarian refugee hunter

The self-appointed refugee hunter Dinko Valev (29) from Bulgaria has been released from the illegal detention of refugees.

The case caused a lot of dust to rise both inside and outside the eastern European country. Amateur images of Afghans tied by civilians left the world last year. The authorities ruled that the refugee hunters had violated the law.

However, a conviction of one of the alleged refugee hunters remained. The abducted migrants had not explicitly confirmed that the suspect had bound them. They also had the man appointed only in photographs, and not personally, as a perpetrator.
