Russophobic advertisement on bus to be checked in Latvia

In Latvia, they will check information about the placement of a Russophobic announcement in public transport in Riga, RIA Novosti reports.

Earlier, pictures from one of the Riga buses were shown on social networks. In particular, an announcement was shown stating that “seats for Russian-speakers are only on the rear platform” of the vehicle.

The audit was initiated by the Deputy of the Latvian Seimas Andrey Yudin. In his opinion, the Latvian State Security Service needs to check this information and determine whether it incites ethnic hatred and discord.

In August, the Saeima of Latvia adopted a document in which Russia is officially declared a “state sponsor of terrorism.”
