Russian speakers protest ‘language genocide’ in Latvia

"Members of Latvia’s Russian-speaking community staged a peaceful protest in the country’s capital of Riga against a looming ban on teaching in Russian in educational institutions. 

Last month, the Education, Culture and Science Commission of the Latvian parliament, called the Saeima, supported amendments to education laws that would provide for a phased three-year transition to teaching only in Latvian, the state language, in kindergartens and schools." RT
