The Vidzeme District Court of the city of Riga convicted Jānis Dzelme of hooliganism today, January 15, sentencing him to 100 hours of compulsory labour. Dzelme, who is a businessman, a member of the “New Generation” church congregation, and an assistant to MP Dainis Turlais of the First Party of Latvia (LPP), was convicted of gross public disorderliness as manifested in an obvious lack of respect toward the public by ignoring universally accepted norms of behaviour.
