Jimbola and Asen Liev. These Roma Gypsies were residents of an infamous municipal building tower block with windows, which was the bone of controversy for many years. The building was knocked down in September 2010 and its residents forcibly evicted. The municipality refused to rehouse them. They live adjacent to the old building in homemade squats. Their shacks are surrounded by a vast municipal estate housing non-Roma on the outskirts of Yambol Bulgaria
