The most violations were found in the Latgale region – 14 administrative violation proceedings and one criminal proceeding, 11 administrative violation proceedings were initiated in the Riga region, one criminal proceeding and one administrative violation proceeding in the Zemgale region, and three administrative violation proceedings in the Kurzeme region.
In the Jelgava cemetery, a man shot three times in the air with a gas pistol in order to glorify the aggressor country. Both the criminal process for the justification of genocide, crime against peace, and war crimes, as well as the administrative process for the use of a gas weapon, have been started for the incident.
The second criminal trial, which started in Daugavpils, was reported earlier. In this case, the arrested person ran in front of the journalists’ cameras and pretended to be the leader of the neighboring country, Vladimir Putin.
Most of the violations are for public glorification of military aggression and war crimes
Evaluating the rest of the detected violations, the absolute majority is about public glorification of military aggression and war crimes – both the use of prohibited symbols in a public place and the placing of flowers in the places where the dismantled Soviet monuments were located. Among these violations, the use of Georga tapes, the public playing of Russian war songs, various inscriptions and pins on clothes related to the aggressor state, as well as the chanting of various phrases glorifying the aggressor state by individual persons were found. Disobedience to law enforcement officers has also been established.
