Representatives of the Congress of Non-Citizens appealed in the court the decision of the Jurmala City Council which forbids setting 6 of 7 polling stations for the elections to the Parliament of Unrepresented in Jurmala. The City Council explained its decision by the fact that the polling stations of the Congress are situated close to the polling stations for the municipal elections and there is a possibility that the organisers of the elections to the Parliament of Unrepresented will be agitating and disrupt the order by other means. The Congress, in its turn, argued that the City Council violated the right to freedom of assembly. Vesti Segodnya
