Saeima: Supporters of special operation in Ukraine to be deprived of Latvian citizenship

21 апреля 2022
Latvia interprets freedom of expression in its own way: the country will deprive citizenship for supporting the Russian special operation in Ukraine. The Seimas adopted amendments to the law on citizenship. Data on a citizen's support for the special operation will be provided by the state security bodies. At the same time, challenging and appealing the decision on the deprivation of citizenship will not be accepted as grounds for the suspension of its validity.

Since February 24, 14 criminal cases have been already instituted for support of special operations against the citizens of Latvia.
