• Discussions on suitability of Nils Muiznieks for post of director of the Latvian National Human Rights Office

Seven people from Somalia – five men and two women - were illegally brought to Latvia. On Friday they arrived in the Riga Office of the Red Cross seeking help.

Latvijas Avize continues discussions on the suitability of Nils Muiznieks for post of director of the Latvian National Human Rights Office. The newspaper admits that Nils Muiznieks is highly qualified in the field, however, it says that he should not take this post because of his former activities as a Special Assignments Minister for Social Integration which have been sharply criticised several politicians and members of society.
