Police officers speak to a protester during a rally against the decision of the Riga City Council to demolish the Monument to the Liberators of Soviet Latvia and Riga from the German Fascist Invaders in central Riga, Latvia. The Parliament of Latvia earlier adopted a law to suspend the operation of a clause of the intergovernmental agreement with Russia on the protection of monuments to Soviet soldiers in the country, which would allow the dismantling of the monument to the Liberators of Riga.
