  • Residents of Ikskile complain about spread of fascistic slogans and symbols in the town
  • Riga Regional Court has received the conclusion of linguistic expertise on the statements by the activist of the Headquarters Aleksandrs Gilmans

Vesti Segodnya reports that residents of Ikskile (a small town in the central part of Latvia) complain about spread of fascistic slogans and signs written on the walls of houses, a Lutheran church and fences all over the town. Representatives of police reported that they are investigating the case, however, no person has been detained yet.

The Riga Regional Court has received the conclusion of linguistic expertise on the statements made by the activist of the Headquarters for the Defence of Russian-language Schools Aleksandrs Gilmans. As reported, Aleksandrs Gilmans is charged for anti-governmental statements made on the internet forum of the Headquarters’ homepage. Experts of the State Language Centre have concluded that the Gilmans’ statements are clearly hostile, however, do not contain an open call to forcible overturn of the Latvian state authority.
