Lithuanian Russian Union expresses mistrust in the Radio and Television Commission
The Lithuanian Russian Union has appealed to the Parliament Speaker, four parliamentary committees and presidential candidates.
"A large number of residents of Klaipeda and Lithuania do not understand the decisions taken by the commission. Lately, the commission and the Administrative Court have been violating the principles of the freedom of speech and access to diverse information, established in the Constitution.
The adopted decisions insult the thinking people who want to decide for themselves what to watch and listen to. (...) Information seems to be censored. (...) The Lithuanian Russian Union is asking the Parliament to replace members of the commission by including people who have earned respect of Lithuanian citizens and who follow the basic principles of a democratic society, and values of the freedom of thought and speech. (...)." the appeal read.
