In Sofia on March 4 the communist prosecutor demanded the death penalty for four of 15 Protestant churchmen charged with spying and treason. He alleged they plotted to provoke a revolt aided by the United States and Britain, naming American and English church boards and the World Council of Churches. The four named defendants were Vassil Georgiev Ziapkov, Yanko Nikolov Ivanov, Nikols Mihailov Naumov, and Georgi Nikolov Chernev.
