People gather at a protest rally in Riga January 13, 2009. Latvian riot police used teargas and truncheons after dozens of anti-government demonstrators tried to break into parliament on Tuesday. The clashes broke out after an earlier peaceful protest attended by thousands of people to call for early elections in a country which has had to take a 7.5 billion euro ($9.97 billion) loan from the IMF and European Union after hitting recession. Sign reads "Out of Parliament". REUTERS/Ints Kalnins (LATVIA)
