Persecution of Witnesses in the Paleckis‘ Case Has Begun

   (Fascism is knocking at the doors)

   2012. 07. 15.

   The General prosecuting magistracy has initiated a pre-trial investigation concerning the allegedly false testimonies by the citizens of Vilnius Danguolė Raugalienė and Jaunutis Lekas in the case of Algirdas Paleckis over his independent opinion about the events 13th of January 1991 in Vilnius. The capitalist regime, which is aiming to control our thoughts and opinion, will not limit itself solely to A. Paleckis. Even though 12 witnesses in total gave their testimonies at the court during the trial, the prosecuting magistracy chose these two persons.

   Let us remember what these brave people testified.

   Danguolė Raugalienė: “That night I was at the tower. I saw shots from the roofs. They were shooting towards the youth that was standing near the fence. I saw that since the bullets were illuminated, tracer bullets – it was possible to see whereto they were flying. I saw how people would collapse because of those bullets. There were people walking around within the crowd who urged the people not to retreat, but rather to move towards the sphere where those tracer bullets were hitting, since „they were empty bullets, nobody would get shot“. The USSR soldiers were not shooting. If they had been shooting, perhaps there would not be any living person left. Even now there are many witnesses left, however they are afraid to give testimonies over that.”

   Jaunutis Lekas.: ”On the night of the 13th of January I was near the tower of Television. On the roof of a five-storey building I noticed a few persons. They were not soldiers since it was possible to see civilian silhouettes. There were flashes and outbursts of shots from there. Those were not machine-guns, since there were solitary shots. They might have aimed at the people, or at the soldiers. And the USSR soldiers – I saw them shooting not at the people but in front of their feet. If they had been shooting at the people and with real bullets, there would have been a lot of blood”.

   Prosecutor Rimutė Dzimanavičienė perceived the possibility of false testimonies (Penal Code, article 235, part 1). She was helped to perceive it by the shrewd ex-vice-prime minister Zigmas Vaišvila, the well known man of destruction concerning our energetics and economy. The investigation has been started after his complaint.

   What is so false about that? The people saw and testified that. They are not the only ones that saw that. Hundreds of them did... Unpleasant information, indeed. It gives a blow to the right-wing mythology. The casual fascism begins with the pretension to control our thoughts.

   The prosecuting magistracy under the authority of A. Valys seems to have decided to take upon itself the role of the Ministry of Truth. Good luck to them.

   No repression will stop the river from flowing. The whole truth about the 13th of January only begins to unravel. .
