LATVIA

Early day motion 1134, tabled 24 March 1998 by Nick Palmer (Labour). Signed by 21 members.

That this House notes that Latvian authorities have recently authorised a pro-Nazi rally by SS veterans, but forcibly dispersed a rally of pensioners on the cost of living; further notes the continued Latvian government discrimination according to ethnic origin; and calls upon Latvia to improve its human rights record before its entry into the European Union can be seriously considered.

Signatures by party: Labour 17, Liberal Democrat 3, Conservative 1.
