Saeima revokes Latvian citizenship granted to scientist Divya Kannan Vishwanath
On 22 October, Latvia's parliament, the Saeima, passed a law under the urgency procedure revoking the Latvian citizenship of India-born scientist Divya Kannan Vishwanath.
The Saeima, Latvia's parliament, on 22 October adopted a law under the urgency procedure that revokes the Latvian citizenship previously granted to India-born scientist Divya Kannan Vishwanath.
The law concerns citizenship that had been granted to the scientist earlier. Under the new legislation, that decision is annulled.
Under the urgency procedure, the Saeima considers and passes bills faster than it does in the regular process.
The source does not state the grounds for the decision, the vote count or what happens next for the scientist, so this report does not include such details.
