Latvia Bans Rossiya Segodnya's Lawyers From Court Appeal
On Monday, Evgeny Korolyov, the head of the agency’s legal department, said Rossiya Segodnya lawyers were denied entry to Latvia where they were to participate in a court procedure on the refusal of registering one of the agency’s bureaus in Riga.

Latvia refused to register the agency's bureau in late August 2015, since the documents submitted as part of the registration process allegedly did not comply with the country's law. The Russian Foreign Ministry dismissed the claim as discriminating and politicized.
