Latvia: Fighters for freedom are those who fought both against the USSR and Nazism
In the final reading, the Latvian Parliament adopted a law on the assignment of the status of World War II participants. According to the Delphi Baltic Portal, this status will be granted to Latvian citizens who fought in regular military units and against Nazi Germany and against the Soviet Union. This law does not apply to the so-called "non-urban" residents of the country which, after the break-up of the Soviet Union, the central authorities did not recognize the right to citizenship and live in Latvia in some kind of legal limbo.
The law was proposed by the Human Rights Commission in parliament in order to assess the rights of Latvian citizens who fought during the Second World War in the composition of regular military units of other countries and who participated in the armed struggle against the Soviet Union and the forces of Nazi Germany or its allies .
According to the law, the status of participants in the Second World War is recognized to the citizens of Latvia from June 17, 1940, as well as permanent residents of Latvia who legally entered the country before that date. This rule does not apply to individuals and their families who came to Latvia on the basis of the so-called Military Base Agreement of October 5, 1939.
The status will not be recognized by members of the National Socialist Party of Germany and its paramilitary structures, the secret police and the security services of this regime.
This status will not be granted to those who worked for the KGB, the USSR or the Latvian Soviet Socialist Republic. Only people who were employed in their financial, administrative and economic departments will be recognized.
Also, the status of participants in the Second World War will not be granted to persons convicted of crimes against humanity and other crimes of this category.
