Anyone with Latvian residence can sign the petition to support Latvia's adherence to the Istanbul Convention here: https://manabalss.lv/i/3739

Parliament might bring a proposal to revoke Latvia's ratification of the convention to the vote, which if passed would be a major, disgraceful step back in terms of protecting basic human rights and the protection of women and victims of violence in the country.

The Latvian #Saeima has passed amendments to the Sports Law, effectively banning Latvian national teams from competing against Russian and Belarusian teams in team sports. This decision, made on Thursday, 1 February, extends to matches where athletes from these countries compete under a neutral status.
