Dear Ventsislav Zhekov,

I have read your interview with Nidal Algafari about Syrians in Bulgaria joining with OMON, the self-defence group created by Petko Asenov and others of the National Center for the Development of Roma in Bulgaria.

Here in London, the Europe Roma network, Roma London BG and the 8 April Movement are promoting an event, in co-ordination with other organizations across Europe, to demonstrate for the rights and protection of migrant groups.

We would be most obliged if you would kindly pass our message on to Mr Algafari with the request that - if he so wishes - he puts us in touch with the Syrian community in London, with a view to us joining together in common cause.

Already we are talking with MAX, a parliamentary led coalition and with migrant groups to join together for the meeting and march on 7 April 2014.

The march will be to Parliament and to the EU offices - to press the EU Commission to intervene and use its powers to protect migrants.

Grattan Puxon
