However, it emerged Sep. 7 that instead of the planned Russian March in Riga onSaturday, the organizers will instead hold a protest against the court's ruling.
Riga City Council spokesman Ugis Vidauskis told the Baltic News Service that an organization calledLatvia's Russian Youth Association, tried to submit a reworded application for the Russian March on Friday, using a
loophole in legislation that allows applications to be submitted even after the deadline has passed, in exceptional circumstances. The court session was defined as an exceptional circumstance.
The organization will stage its protest from 17:00 to 18:00 in Riga city center to voice their disappointment with the court's decision.
