The Bulgarian Helsinki Committee (BHC) reports ongoing human rights violations against children at a residential facility in Varna, one year after initial abuse allegations were confirmed. The BHC will hold a press conference on June 23rd to detail their findings. Previous investigations substantiated claims of violence at the Varna facility. The organization alleges that despite these confirmations, abuses continue to occur, indicating a lack of effective remediation. The BHC’s statement raises concerns about the protection of vulnerable children within the Bulgarian care system. Further details regarding the nature and extent of the ongoing abuses are expected to be revealed at the upcoming press conference. The group is calling for increased oversight and accountability to safeguard children’s rights.
