Take note – story published 1 year ago

The State Police's Rīga Teika precinct has initiated an administrative violation process regarding the spray-painting of the letter Z on the Second World War Holocaust Victims Memorial in Rīga, Biķernieku forest, LETA reported February 22.

The process is initiated regarding the use of symbols glorifying military aggression and war crimes in a public place, LETA said.

 

According to LETA, Rīga Monument Agency specialists have traveled to the memorial to find out the extent of vandalism and begin to clean up the site.

As explained later in the municipality, the scribblings were easily cleared.

Last year in July, the situation was similar, when the letters SS had been written on the memorial.
