A march commemorating Latvian soldiers who fought for the Nazis was canceled. A special commission of Latvia’s Parliament canceled the rally by the Latvian SS Legion on Tuesday, two days before the event was to take place. The commission cited security concerns, as the event has been drawing fierce criticism from anti-nationalist, pro-Russian groups vowing to protest the event.
