Lithuania will ask Interpol to reject Russia's request to prosecute Lithuanian judges, Foreign Minister Gabrielius Landsbergis said on Monday.
Russia's Investigative Committee said earlier on Monday that it had brought charges in absentia against three Lithuanian judges for delivering “a deliberately wrongful” sentence against more than 50 Russian citizens in the mass trial related to the Soviet crackdown on civilians in Vilnius in January 1991.
“[Interior] Minister Agnė Bilotaitė and I have agreed that the Interior Ministry will turn to Interpol with a warning to categorically reject any Russian request to unlawfully prosecute Lithuanian officials,” Foreign Minister Landsbergis told BNS.
