Bulgaria's parliament will hear on Wednesday Interior Minister Tsvetan Tsvetanov in connection with an incident in the southern town of Kurdzhali, in which plainclothes police officers beat up by mistake a family during an operation.

The hearing will be held at the request of the opposition left-wing Coalition for Bulgaria and the predominantly ethnic Turkish Movement for Rights and Freedoms.

Four policemen broke in the home of Aysel Mustafova in Kardzhali late on Friday night, and thrashed a family of four and a guest from Turkey.

The policemen discovered only in the morning that they got the wrong address. The husband Sabahtin Mustafov and the son Kadir were arrested and released as soon as the mistake became evident.

The family’s daughter, who is a student at the Plovdiv University, suffered a concussion, and failed to pass her Monday’s exam as a result.

Aysel Mustafova has submitted petition with the local police and all relevant state institutions protesting the treatment of her family and insisting on a thorough investigation and punishment of the persons responsible for the incident.

Bulgaria’s Interior Minister Tsvetan Tsvetanov apologized publicly on Monday to all Bulgarian citizens who were targeted by mistake over the weekend by the police officers as part of a special operation against prostitution rings.

Tsvetanov said there will most likely be disciplinary action against those responsible, and vowed to crack down on any abuse of police powers.
