EJP – Latvian veterans who fought on Nazi Germany’s side against the Soviets in World War II paraded in the Baltic state’s capital Friday, amid a heavy police presence and low-key counter-demonstrations.
Around 1,500 people took part in the controversial parade through Riga’s Old Town, police said.
Just three arrests were made for aggressive behaviour and the display of “banned symbols” — the Nazi swastika and Soviet hammer and sickle.
