A reminder that we have accounts on these social networks too. There we publish short videos with our lawyers and share information about our cases in a more visual format, with pictures, photos and videos.
One of our latest viral videos is devoted to an interesting case from Lithuania.
A technologist from Šiauliai, who held a permanent residence permit and had lived in Lithuania all his life, answered the form question “Whose Crimea is it?” by saying that it belongs to Russia. Naturally, the man was declared a threat to national security.
But he went to court and consistently maintained the position that Lithuania has freedom of speech. So if he believes Crimea is Russian, he is entitled to say so. And the court, you won’t believe it, sided with him.
True, there is one important “but.” The hero of this story is an EU long-term resident. And the notorious forward-looking assessment is not applied to them. That is, they cannot be declared a threat merely on the suspicion that in the future they might be recruited by another country; concrete evidence is required.
But even if you have EU long-term resident status, we strongly advise against testing how solid it is in practice!
Anyway, our other accounts are interesting too. Subscribe, like and comment!
