• Diena reports on the living conditions in the Olaine refugee camp

Diena reports on the living conditions in the Olaine refugee camp where the recently detained 7 refugees from Somalia are placed. According to the newspaper, Somalis are satisfied with the living conditions. Latvian authorities continue the questioning of seven immigrants as they provide rather contradicting information about their trip to Latvia. At the moment all Somalis have illegal immigrant status because none of them has applied for asylum in Latvia.
