Latvia - August 2022

State of Emergency extended

Latvia extended the State of Emergency on the border with Belarus for the fourth time since it first came into effect one year ago with the announced intention of deterring illegal border crossings. The State of Emergency was criticized by the Council of Europe Commissioner for Human Rights for obstructing transparency and accountability for measures affecting migrants and refugees taken at the border and restricting the work of human rights organizations.
