Nikola Petkov, leader of the Peasant party and foe of Bulgaria's Communist government, was hanged at 12:15 a.m. in Sofia's central prison after his appeal from the August 16 death penalty was rejected. The 42-year-old opposition figure denied plotting a coup and called the case a continuation of events in Hungary.
