Latvian justice minister on getting Putin to stand trial: "We have to be creative" | DW News

The Latvian justice minister has defended her country’s measures counteracting Kremlin propaganda against critics who call those measures an infringement of the freedom of speech. In an interview with DW, Inese Libina-Egnere said about the closure of Russian TV channels in Latvia: “After the attack in Ukraine started, everyone understood that we have to ban the channels. But before there was always a fight: That's freedom of speech.”She told DW “harassment, violation of human rights, violation of human dignity, falsification of history” does not constitute a “variety of views. That's actually using the freedom of speech against the democracy.”
