National Bolshevik Vladimirs Lindermans (currently in pre-trial detention) has stated that criminal case against him is faked by the Security Police. Vladimirs Lindermans believes that a call to overturn Latvian government by force, allegedly made by Russian extremists in a letter sent to a newspaper Diena in 2002, was forged by the Security Police. Mr. Lindermans also believes that evidence found by the Security Police, such as five kilograms of TNT (trotyl) and thousand copies of the leaflets, were also fabricated by the Police and he sees this as a political provocation against Latvian National Bolsheviks. Vladimirs Lindermanis has appealed to the Director of the Constitution Protection Bureau Janis Kazoncins as well as to MPs to conduct an investigation of his case. Chas, Vesti Segodnya
