Telegraf reports that the State Border Guard Service detained a group of persons engaged in illegal transportation of foreign citizens to Latvia. The group was detained while trying to transport three Iraqi citizens over Latvian border.
Latvijas Avize prints an article about differences in rights of Latvian citizens and non-citizens. The author of the article criticizes statements made by the Russian Ambassador to Latvia Aleksandr Veshnyakov according to which differences in rights of citizens and non-citizens split Latvian society. According to the article, it is fair that Latvian non-citizens do not have the same rights as the citizens, because in majority of countries, including Russia, these rights are granted only to citizens.
