What goals did the Helsinki-86 group pursue in Latvia?

Helsinki-86 was one of the first opposition organizations to emerge in Latvia during the late 1980s, a period marked by a national renaissance linked to the Soviet policies of glasnost ("openness") and perestroika (restructuring).12

The primary goal of the group was to secure the basic human rights that had been established in the Helsinki Accords. By advocating for these rights, the organization provided a voice for democratic opposition within the Soviet system, utilizing the international commitments to fundamental freedoms as a moral and political instrument to challenge the status quo.1234
