Latvian city permits procession commemorating SS legion
     RIGA.  Feb  23 (Interfax/BNS) - The city council in Liepaja, Latvia
on Wednesday  gave  permission to the Union of National Forces to hold a
street procession on March 16 in memory of the Latvian Waffen SS legion.
     Viktors Birze, the union's co-chairman, told BNS that the route was
agreed upon  with  the  local  self-government and only slightly differs
from the original.
     "I  am  satisfied  that  the  city  council  did not give in to the
blackmail  from  left-wing  political  parties  -  the  Latvian National
Democratic  Party,  and  the  association  For  Human  Rights in Unified
Latvia," he said.
     Earlier,  the  left-wing  associations,  the  Russian community and
local veterans'  organizations  spoke out against the planned procession
and said  they intended to organize a protest if it were permitted. They
said they  could  not  rule  out  the  possibility  that  there might be
bloodshed at such a protest.
     The  Latvian  Waffen  SS legion was set up in February 1943 and, on
March 16, 1944, fought against the Soviet army on the Velikaya River.
     In  February  2004, the Russian Foreign Ministry issued a statement
reminding Latvia that, during the Nuremberg trial, the activities of the
Waffen SS  legion  in  Latvia  had  been  declared criminal. The Foreign
Ministry  stressed  that "it is impossible to single out any part of the
SS that was not involved in criminal activities."
