Riga, Latvia (Issuewire.com) - Riga, Latvia — July 29, 2025
Russian refugee Igor Sychev, known for his vocal criticism of the Russian government and past association with Alexei Navalny’s movement, has officially filed a legal application in Latvia requesting an investigation into the conduct of the country’s former Prosecutor General, Juris Stukāns.
Sychev alleges that his rights have been violated during his time in Latvia and that certain decisions made during Stukāns' tenure raise serious legal and ethical questions. This legal filing comes at a time when Mr. Stukāns’ official powers had recently ceased—an event Sychev claims was directly impacted by the application itself.
The case has drawn attention due to previous international media coverage. In multiple interviews with British media outlets, Sychev described surviving alleged assassination attempts and detailed threats he believes are linked to his political activism and asylum claims.

Sychev’s legal team maintains that the Latvian judicial system must maintain transparency and impartiality, especially when dealing with asylum seekers and politically vulnerable individuals.
"This is not only about me," Sychev stated. "It's about ensuring that Latvia upholds the rule of law and doesn't become a silent tool for political retaliation."
The application has been submitted to Latvian authorities and is currently under review. Observers from various human rights groups are monitoring the situation closely.
For further details, official records and legal filings can be made available upon request.
