The State Police has started a criminal trial regarding the possible sexual harassment of a woman in the center of Riga by migrants.
A woman claimed on Twitter that yesterday in the center of Riga, in the square near the University of Latvia, while walking home, she was molested by two men who looked like people from India or Pakistan.
“When one started to let go of his hands, the other had already pulled out his genitals. I fought until a man ran to save me,” the woman said.
Yesterday, unfortunately, I had to face the “kindness” of migrants in the center of Riga in the evening. When one started to release his hands, the other had already pulled out his genitals. I fought until a man ran to save me�I have always been against migrants! Yes, feel free to call me a racist!
