DISINFO: Russian-speakers are still openly discriminated against, especially in the Baltic states
SUMMARY
Russian-speaking people are still openly discriminated against in some countries. Discrimination is aimed at the Russian language and education in the Russian language. The Russian-speaking people are forced to sever the link with the historical homeland.
The scandals linked to the discrimination against the Russian language permanently happen in the Baltic states and, especially, in Latvia.
RESPONSE
Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation on the Baltic countries, accusing them of violation of human rights of the Russian-speaking minority.
The Baltic states are democratic countries, which respect human rights and do not discriminate or oppress any persons because of their citizenship and political opinions. In the ranking Freedom in the World (by Freedom House) Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia marked as “free” countries. Read more about the real situation with human rights in Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia.
