Latvia marks 30th anniversary of declaration of independence

Members of the Latvian parliament lay flowers at the Freedom Monument while keeping safe social distance from each other in Riga, Latvia, May 4, 2020, as the country marks the 30th anniversary of its declaration of independence. May 4 is celebrated by Latvians to mark the day the country declared independence from the former Soviet Union in 1990. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, national-wide celebrations this year mostly took place at home as all annual events were cancelled. (Photo by Janis Laizans/Xinhua)
