Dozens of media outlets have fled to the capital of Latvia, only to encounter a distrustful public and a set of strictly enforced laws and regulations.
Latvia pulled the Russian exiled channel’s broadcast license in what some called censorship. But whatever the merits, Russia ranks near the bottom in press freedom.
The studio of television channel TV3, whose facilities TV Rain broadcast from in Riga, will terminate its lease with the Russian network, TV3 spokesperson Karlis Poznyakov told Latvian publication Delfi.
