Rigában a városi tanács néhány képviselője komoly lépéseket tett azért, hogy a 2009-es Pride ne kerülhessen megrendezésre. Nagyon gyorsan kell lépnünk, hogy nyomást gyakorolhassunk a lett döntéshozókra, hogy engedélyezzék a felvonulást a már korábbi terveknek megfelelően.

Dear Prime Minister,
I am writing to express Amnesty International’s concerns over moves by several elected representatives of the Riga City Council (RCC) to ban the Baltic Pride march, scheduled to take place in
The proposed Baltic Pride march was authorised by the RCC’s Commission on Meetings,
On 13 May, however, 34 of the 60 RCC Councillors sent an open letter to the RCC’s Executive Director, Andris Grinbergs, calling on him to revoke the decision of 8 May, on the grounds that the march was offensive to public decency and posed a threat to public security. The 34 signatories have threatened to overrule the decision of the Commission on Meetings, Marches The banning of the Baltic Pride Event would violate the rights to freedom of expression, peaceful assembly and non-discrimination as set out in several international human rights conventions to which Latvia According to international human rights law, freedom of expression, peaceful assembly and association should not be restricted or prohibited simply on the grounds that something might shock, offend or disturb. Therefore, a peaceful assembly may not be restricted merely on the grounds that it might offend an individual or group. Moreover, states have an obligation to protect the right to peaceful assembly even if a peaceful gathering may attract violent counter-demonstrations
Amnesty International therefore calls on the Latvian authorities to ensure that the Baltic Pride event is allowed to take place under the originally agreed conditions and that the necessary security arrangements are in place to allow for the peaceful celebration of the rights and dignity of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people in the Baltic countries and across Europe. Yours sincerely
