  • Free-of-charge Latvian language courses organised for the ninth year
  • Latvijas Avize: prosecutor supervising a criminal process against organisers of a procession in commemoration of Nazi troops entry to Latvia in 1 July 1941 considers that the process should be terminated

Chas reports about free-of-charge Latvian language courses organised for the ninth year by NGO Prata Speks. The courses provide state language training especially for naturalisation examination. This year the courses will be held not only in Riga but also in two other cities.

Latvijas Avize reports that the prosecutor supervising a criminal process against organisers of a procession in commemoration of Nazi troops entry to Latvia in 1 July 1941 considers that the process should be terminated. As reported, the Security Police initiated the criminal process for justification of genocide, crimes against humanity, crimes against peace and war crimes. The prosecutor considers that the process should be terminated because the procession was allowed by the court which did not find any danger in it and also because the event did not happen as planned because it was stopped by the police due to the absence of its organiser.
