Thousands rally in Latvia to stop cuts in public servicesTeachers’ wages have been halved and pensions slashed by 10%. This week’s astonishing reduction in public spending is likely to be repeated and protesters have vowed to protect the country's vital services. |
Russia must grant asylum to these poor people & their families. I know through my personal experiences that all of these people's lives are in danger. These times that we're living through, for the past 6-8 years, are extremely intense and dangerous even for private citizens. I've been illegally persecuted here in the United States and there have been at least two attempts made on my life. The second attempt landed me in the hospital twice and I'm ready to go back again today. If I make it out of this country alive Russia will be my 1st choice for asylum. I'm currently learning how to speak, read, and write in Russian. Hopefully, when I come back to Russia ( have made two recent visits) the Russian Federation will be able to grant me asylum and place me in a job that suits my personal skills & experience. Thank you RT. Sincerely, Eric Hunt
