- OKROL asks to evaluate the observation of non-citizens rights in Latvia
- National bolshevik Benes Ayo ends the hunger strike
The United Congress of the Russian Community in Latvia (OKROL in its Russian acronym) has sent a letter to the European Parliament, the Council of Europe, the European Committee, and the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe with an appeal to evaluate the observation of non-citizens rights in Latvia. The OKROL considers that the status of the EU permanent resident should not be applied to Latvian non-citizens as they cannot be treated on the same basis as immigrants who have arrived in Latvia recently.
