If you believe that any of your rights have been violated in relation to your involuntary placement in a mental health care institution, you have the right to complain.
First you should complain locally to the Bulgarian authorities and courts. They should be able to offer the easiest and quickest solution to your problem.
European and international institutions will not accept your claim if you have not tried to complain to the local institutions first. You can only go to the European and international institutions if you think that the violation of your rights has not been remedied by the Bulgarian institutions.
