Lithuania seems to be incapable of seizing the “Soviet witch-hunt.” The local Seimas adopted another series of amendments to the legislation designed to punish the “Soviet occupiers”. Not only that – the Soviet Union is now considered guilty of today’s corruption in Lithuania.
On June 9, deputies of the Seimas adopted the amendments to the law “On responsibility for the genocide of the people of Lithuania” and the amendments to the Civil Code. They set regulations for paying compensation to the victims of the “perpetrators of crimes of the occupation regime of the USSR.” In addition, statute of limitations on such crimes has been repealed. Making this decision, the deputies took into account the opinion of the Constitutional Court that advised to correct the anti-Soviet piece of legislation.
