26 people are detained in an EU country for celebrating Victory Day.

More than two dozen residents of Latvia were arrested on Tuesday for violating a law against celebrating the Soviet Union's victory over Nazi Germany, known as Victory Day. Police seized a "Russia" jacket from a man in a wheelchair and arrested another for wearing Soviet medals in public. Last month, the Latvian parliament banned Victory Day celebrations as "belittling and undermining the values of Latvia as a democratic and national state". Most of the arrests and citations involved placing flowers at "prohibited places," where Soviet monuments once stood before the government in Riga had them destroyed.
