The Parliament of Unrepresented is planning to establish a museum consisting of four sections: establishment of non-citizens of Latvia; life during the Soviet era told by the people themselves; overview of damages and violations of rights since 1991; personal stories of "humiliation, insults and problems" experienced by the people. The authors of the initiative claim the official version of Latvia's history is biased and are calling all the people of Latvia to share their "life memories", regardless of ethnicity or citizenship. The Parliament of Unrepresented is unofficial body which claims to represent the interests of Latvia's non-citizens, whose voting rights were revoked since 1991. Representative of the Museum of the Occupation of Latvia welcomes the development of new museums which represent various sides of Latvia's history and believes the exhibition of the Museum of the Occupation of Latvia is well-balanced; the Latvian riflemen museum building was granted to the Museum of the Occupation of Latvia according to a specific law and the state structures included it into official protocol.
