Children of Bulgaria - Police Violence and Arbitrary Confinement, Human Rights Watch Children’s Rights Project - Human Rights Watch/Helsinki, New York, September 1996, 145 p.
The report concludes that street children in Bulgaria are often subjected to physical abuse and other mistreatment by police, the very people who are supposed to protect them. Once detained, children fall victim to gross procedural inadequacies in the juvenile justice system in Bulgaria. In particular, the practice of confining children to penal institutions, without due process, violates international law.
