It happened exactly today during a direct TV interview of a chairwoman of the Lithuanian parliamentary Comission against Drug-addiction. She said that police and other officers do not act in one famous Vilnius place because they are afraid of international human rights organisations, because these defend not the rights of potential victims of drug-addiction, but drug sellers.
Recently journalists investigate continuing terrible criminal situation with drug-selling in the Roma (Gypsy) district of the Vilnius city. It was started with famous BBC jounalist Nicholas Jones: he was arrested by police and released only with help of Lithuanian colleagues and a lawyer in the evening 29 August, but drug sellers were not touched. Participants of Alfa reality show (LNK TV station) continue series of articles.
What is most strange for me, that according to this Chairwoman of the Commission, demolitions of Roma homes is positive and effective solution of drug-selling, e.g. in Kaliningrad now.
