Prisoners of conscience

Algirdas Paleckis

On March 13, 2025, Kaunas District Court passed a verdict in the case concerning the anti-fascist politician Algirdas Paleckis. He had previously been acquitted on this charge, as it was not proven that he had committed an offense or misdemeanor. He had been under arrest since the fall of 2018.

However, the Kaunas District Court satisfied the prosecutor's complaint, recognizing that A. Paleckis' actions related to slandering the Forest Brothers were premeditated and he committed the crime while in custody. The final term of imprisonment for A. Paletskis amounted to 1 year, 10 months and 18 days.
