The Baltic Pride march due to take place on Saturday 16 May in Riga, Latvia, will go ahead after a ban against the event was lifted on Friday morning.
Riga City Council (RCC) had revoked permission for the march, organized by the Latvian organization Mozaika, the Lithuanian Gay League, and Estonian Gay Youth, on Thursday.
The organizers made an injunction to the court and were granted a hearing on Friday at 10am at Riga’s Municipal Court, which overturned the decision to ban the march.
Amnesty International has welcomed the decision to allow the march.
