• Discussions on the establishment of the Parliamentary Sub-committee on Livonians, Suits and Latgalians
• The display of Childhood in captivity: the fate of children, stolen to Latvia in 1943-1944 exhibition is postponed

Latvijas Avize reports that two MPs, representatives of Livonian (Davis Stalts) and Latgalian (Juris Vilums) minorities intend to establish a Parliamentary Sub-committee on Livonians, Suits and Latgalians – regional minority groups native to Latvia. Initiators hope the sub-committee will help preservation of these minority groups, their identity and languages, as well as realisation of their interests in the state policies. At the ruling coalition council meeting, the Unity objected to the proposal. The sub-committee is to be established under the parliamentary Human Rights and Public Affairs Committee.

Russian newspapers report that the display in Latvia of the exhibition “Childhood in captivity: the fate of children, stolen to Latvia in 1943-1944” is postponed due to alleged administrative pressure exerted on partner organisations in Latvia. The exhibition includes documents and witness accounts and is devoted to the fate of people, involuntarily brought by the Nazis to Latvia as children from Russian and Byelorussian villages burned down by the Nazis during the World War II. Previously, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Latvia has strongly condemned the exhibition as falsification of history and propaganda.
