The Turk who runs a restaurant in Plovdiv called police after the seven allegedly tried to force him to donate money to the PKK. One of the detainees lives permanently in Sofia, the others have addresses in Plovdiv. The leader of the PKK Abdullah Ocalan has been sentenced to death in neighboring Turkey.
