• Senate of the Supreme Court refused to accept cassation of the Citizenship and Migration Affairs Office in the case of Aleksandr Kazakov
• New Russian speaking youth NGO LatRusMol established

The Senate of the Supreme Court refused to accept cassation of the Citizenship and Migration Affairs Office in the case of a Russian citizen, former activist of the Headquarters for the Defence of Russian Language Schools Aleksandr Kazakov. As reported, Mr Kazakov objected the decision of the OCMA to expel him from Latvia and decision on his inclusion into the list of persons whose entrance to Latvia is banned by the Ministry of Interior after his activities in protests against the minority school reform in 2004. In 2010, the Administrative Court admitted that the OCMAs decision was illegitimate. However, up to now, Mr Kazakov is denied entrance to Latvia because he is included in the black list repeatedly by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Latvijas Avize
