• Latvian Non-Citizens Congress is dismayed about the lack of official reaction to public calls for "preventive placement" of non-citizens of Latvia into "separate territories"   

Latvian Non-Citizens Congress addressed the high state officials with a letter expressing its dismay about the lack of official reaction to public calls for "preventive placement" of non-citizens of Latvia into "separate territories". Online public petition published on 14 April 2015 at www.peticijas.com called for "proactive defence", including "preventive placement" of non-citizens of Latvia and citizens of Russia with residence permits into "separate territories supervised by the Ministry of Interior and security services". The petition gathered more than 1,500 signatures. The Non-Citizens Congress highlights that "non-citizen" is a special status of Latvian subjects, introduced by Latvia, thus, the authors of the petition are calling to punish the people for the policy of Latvian state. The Congress believes that the authors of the petition are scapegoating non-citizens. The Non-Citizens Congress addressed its letter to the Prime Minister Laimdota Straujuma, Minister of Interior Rihards Kozlovskis and the Minister of Defence Raimonds Vejonis. The Congress calls the Government to communicate directly with non-citizens, in order to learn their opinion and to strengthen stability and security of Latvia. Vesti Segodnya
