The espionage case in Britain and the repercussions in Bulgaria

How people in Dolno Osenovo accept Vanya Gaberova's sentence

The sentence, according to people in her home village, is too harsh.

This week it became clear that the Bulgarians accused of espionage in Britain have already been sentenced. They were sentenced to a total of over 50 years in prison, Nova TV recalls.

Among them is Vanya Gaberova. She received a six-year sentence. In her home village of Dolno Osenovo, they are taking this with sadness. People say that she was a good child, but they haven't seen her for a long time because she simply didn't come home.

The sentence, according to people in her home village, is too harsh. Neighbors of her parents say that since the scandal broke out, her mother has not been in good health and regularly visits hospitals abroad.
