“We express our most resolute protest in connection with the hasty deportation of a Russian citizen, military pensioner, former chairman of the council of the All-Latvian Society of Veterans, VS Norvind.
In violation of all conceivable norms of ethics and sanity, an elderly person suffering from serious chronic diseases, despite a sharp deterioration in health during the deportation procedure, was expelled from Latvia, "the embassy said on its Facebook page.
Earlier, the Latvian human rights activist Alexander Gaponenko announced the expulsion of the head of the Latvian society of military veterans Vladimir Norvind to Russia.
It is noted that the formal basis for the deportation was the cancellation of the residence permit of a Russian citizen.
It was reported that he was hospitalized in Riga due to heart problems.
In Russia, Norvind fell into the hands of doctors.
