  • Two Uzbeks escaped from the camp for illegal immigrants in Olaine
  • Ministry of Justice forms a working group which will repeatedly evaluate how to compensate Latvias Jewish community properties lost during the Holocaust

Chas and Vesti Segodnya report that two citizens of Uzbekistan who illegally arrived to Latvia have escaped from the camp for illegal immigrants in Olaine.

NRA reports that by repeated order of the Prime Minister Ivars Godmanis, the Ministry of Justice forms a new working group which will evaluate how to compensate Latvias Jewish community properties lost during the Holocaust. As reported, in 2006, Saeima did not support the draft law on granting LVL 32,000,000 (EUR 45,531,897) and some real estate buildings to the Jewish Community arguing that it contradicts Latvian Civil Law. According to the newspaper, the Prime Minister ordered to form the working group after conversation with the U.S.A. Ambassador to Latvia Charles Larson who asked to draw attention to this issue again.
