  • Latvijas Avize criticises Amnesty International Report 2009

Latvijas Avize criticizes Amnesty International Report 2009, calling it biased and claiming the authors of the report did not take into account the Latvias historic situation. Latvijas Avize is also concerned that as references for the report Amnesty uses two other so called biased reports by the European Commission against Racism and Intolerance (ECRI) and the UN Special Rapporteur on Racism. Latvijas Avize is concerned that Amnesty report has many mistakes concerning the situation of non-citizens. President of Latvia Mr. Valdis Zatlers asked Ombudsman Mr. Romans Apsitis to give an official opinion about the Amnestys criticism on Latvia.
