(Riga, Latvia) - Human rights campaigners from across Europe are to attend next month's Riga Pride. Last year the march was attacked and missiles and human excrement were thrown at participants. Gay and lesbian protesters were refused permission to march in Riga on the 22nd July 2006 by city officials, who cited security advice from the interior ministry. Amnesty International has announced that between 50 and 100 of its members from eleven countries will take part in this year's Riga Pride on 3rd June. A delegation of Swedish MPs and MEPs from across the political spectrum are also expected to march.
