Sixteen Jewish young men, members of the Culture league at Kreslavek, Latvia, were sentenced to four years imprisonment on charges of Communism brought against them. Six were sentenced to three years, two were acquitted.

Eleven of the sentenced are minors and their punishment will be reduced by one-third because of their youth.
