Prisoners of conscience

Gedrius Grabauskas

Lithuanian human rights activist, anti-fascist. He opposes the glorification of Nazis in Lithuania. In 2015, he was accused of possessing several leaflets in the Lithuanian language condemning the deployment of US and NATO troops in Lithuania, as well as the introduction of the euro currency in the country. In 2018, the Lithuanian Court of Appeal acquitted the politician. In 2020, he was again persecuted by the Lithuanian State Security Department, after which Grabauskas entered the territory of Russia and received political asylum here.
