RIGA, February 15 /from RIA Novosti's Anatoly
Baranovsky/ - Hundreds of Riga residents on Saturday
afternoon converged on the US embassy in Latvia to
voice their protest against American administration
plans to start a war in Iraq. "No to war!" they
chanted in Latvian. The same words were spelled out
with burning candles on a frozen canal at the centre
of the Latvian capital.

Then the protesters went to the presidential palace.
There they expressed their disagreement with a
statement by Latvia's President Vaira Vike-Freiberga
on Latvia's readiness to support US military plans,
although more than 80 per cent of the country's
population, as polls have shown, are against war in
Iraq. "Vaira, think twice!" picketers called out
outside the president's residence.

Today's action of protest against US policy and the
position of the Latvian leadership was taken on the
initiative of the Latvian movement for neutrality.
