Hundreds of veterans from Waffen-SS Latvian Legion and its supporters took part in an annual parade in the country’s capital Riga on Monday, despite warnings from the U.S. embassy that it may escalate into violence. The participants of the march walked toward central Riga's Freedom Monument even as several anti-fascist organizations arranged counterprotests in the city.
Police officials in Riga were prepared for possible emergency situations, Sputnik News reported. Konstantin Dolgov, Russian foreign ministry's human rights ombudsman, reportedly said that the march hurt the sentiments of the World War II victims and called upon the European Union to stop the "violation of the international law."
