On 15 May this year, the Human Rights Monitoring Institute presented its fourth annual human rights review, Human Rights Implementation in Lithuania 2006.
The 2006 Review states that many people in the country feel insecure, afraid to express themselves freely, feel a lack of justice, and distrust state institutions. An analysis of the human rights situation confirmed the validity of this mistrust and fears.
This review examines the situation of fundamental political and civil liberties and rights in Lithuania in 2006. It looks at the right to respect for private life, freedom of expression, the right to a fair trial, discrimination, racism, anti-Semitism and other forms of intolerance, and human rights in policing. The situation of vulnerable groups in society – victims of crime, prisoners, the physically and mentally disabled, women and children – is addressed in the context of human rights.
