On Friday, January 9, at 17:00, a protest "Hands Off Venezuela" will take place near the Riga Castle. The event is planned to condemn the "U.S. imperialist aggression against Venezuela," calling on the Latvian government to apply international law equally to all, according to the statement from the event organizers.
The protest is organized by the public center Maiznīca, with informational support from the youth organizations Protests and Jaunie Eiropas federālisti.
As reported by the LETA agency in the Riga City Council, the protest against the U.S. invasion of Venezuela and the detention of Nicolás Maduro has been officially registered. It is planned that 100 people will participate.
Venezuelan President Maduro and his wife were captured during a U.S. military operation on Saturday and taken to New York, where they are promised to be tried on criminal charges related to drug trafficking to the U.S.
