Vesti Segodnya reports about the damage of a poster of a charity humanitarian foundation “Sofia” in Jurmala (town near Riga). The poster was painted with statements written in Latvian language such as “Latvia for ethnic Latvians” and “Go home!” Head of the foundation believes that the damage to the poster might be an action aimed at incitement of ethnic hatred because the activities of the foundation are aimed at support of preservation of Slavic culture and national minority schools.
