We called for expansion of human dimension on political agenda, in which, irrespective of economic prosperity or recession, the attitude of immature democracy prevails that successful economic development will lead to improvement in human rights situation,&#8221; &#8211; said Henrikas Mickevicius, HRMI Executive Director.<\/p>\n<p>Public discourse and political practice of recent years revealed that HRMI was not heard. Instead of care for human rights, a poorly disguised or even proudly displayed hostility towards human rights became obvious. Human rights situation continued to deteriorate and the popular joke about mass evacuation seem to resemble the truth. Disrespect for human rights and the culture of intolerance were openly employed as tools in political competition.<\/p>\n<p>The<b> <\/b>Overview highlights the most serious violations of the prohibition of torture, inhuman and degrading treatment, and the right to fair trial, emphasizes regress in application of principles of equal opportunities and anti-discrimination, draws attention to the rapid growth of intrusions into private life, and to restrictions on the right to participate in public life and freedom of assembly. Special attention is paid to an unsatisfactory state of the rights of vulnerable groups, in particular of children and mentally disabled.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/hrmi.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Human-Rights-in-Lithuania-Overview-2009-2010.pdf\"><b><br \/>\n<\/b>Human Rights in Lithuania 2009-2010: Overview<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On 26 May 2011, HRMI presented its traditional independent assessment of human rights in Lithuania &#8220;Human Rights in Lithuania 2009-2010: Overview&#8221;, which is based on in-house research, reports and other documents prepared by government institutions, Lithuanian and international NGOs and intergovernmental organizations, media monitoring data, and consultations with experts.
