Nationalists stand trial in Riga court
Latvian nationalists today appeared in a Riga court on charges of stirring up the ethnic hostility. In their newspaper, ultra-right nationalist Aivar Garda and his assistant Liga Muzykante called for a forceful deportation of the Russians from Latvia. If found guilty, each could be fined with $8,000-$12,000, reports the Russian news agency Ria-Novosti.
