A memorial to victims of repression outside the Belarusian Embassy in Vilnius has been desecrated. This was reported by LRT, citing the Police Department.
The incident occurred on Sunday between 14:00 and 18:50. An unknown individual smashed the glass in the frames of four photographs installed along the embassy fence. The perpetrator also desecrated the photographs and smashed candle holders with candles.
This is not the first time the memorial has been targeted by acts of vandalism. Several years ago, a pro-Russian activist, Laurynas Ragelskis, who placed photographs of the deceased into a trash bag, was brought to court over these actions, LRT reports.
