During Friday’s rally (23.09) in front of the Parliament of Republic of Lithuania at the booth of the European Foundation of Human Rights one could sign under the afore mentioned petitions, receive information about the activities of the Foundation and its program “Legal Aid Center” (Centrum Pomocy Prawnej). All petitions have been met with a very strong support, which resulted in collection of over 900 signatures. The Foundation was also asked to send the petitions to schools in order to continue collecting signatures under them. In response, the Foundation would like to inform that all the petitions will be sent to educational institutions of national minorities in Lithuania in the near future. This initiative needs unity and your support!
