Latvia suspends Russian state-sponsored TV channel for promoting propaganda and attempting to incite violence
On April 2, 2014, Latvia’s National Electronic Mass Media Council (NEPLP) suspended Russian state-sponsored TV channel RTR Rossiya for three months. NEPLP announced that RTR Rossiya repeatedly violated Latvian media laws in March 2014 by broadcasting “‘war propaganda'” against Ukraine. On April 7, 2016, NEPLP again banned RTR Rossiya from broadcasting in Latvia for six months for “‘inciting hatred [and] calling for war.'”
