Bulgaria Says Russian Journalist Is Being Expelled For 'Security Reasons'

Bulgaria has expelled Russian journalist Aleksandr Gatsak, a correspondent for the Russian-government's Rossiiskaya Gazeta, for "security reasons." The move was announced after the State Agency for National Security (DANS) said on November 1 that Gatsak's residency rights had been revoked in September. "The actions of the agency aim to protect national security, not restrict freedom of speech and expression," DANS said in a statement.
Gatsak did not respond to a request for comment from RFE/RL's Bulgarian Service. To read the original story by RFE/RL's Bulgarian Service, click here.
