Julija Samorokovskaja, Head of the Communication Sub-Department of the Chief Police Commissariat of Vilnius County, informed the news portal lrytas.lt about this.
A video posted on this channel on April 13 shows a group of masked thugs kicking and punching a young man who is unjustifiably labeled a “pedophile” and hurling phrases about “the future of white children,” “for the race and the nation.”
The attack took place in a remote, wooded area in the Vilnius region – judging by his appearance, the victim is from Asia.
A similar attack was carried out a little earlier in the Klaipėda region – the violence against the victim was also filmed, and the images were uploaded to the same channel. A criminal case has also been opened in connection with this case.
It is being clarified whether the same neo-Nazis participated in both episodes.
Until now, it is not clear whether the authorities have taken any action regarding the explanation of the administrators of this channel, which has been spreading hateful ideas for almost half a year, publicly worshiping the leader of Nazi Germany – law enforcement is not talking about it.
Surveys are underway
Due to the scenes of violence in the Vilnius region, interviews of the participants in the case are currently underway.
So far, a pre-trial investigation has been launched only for health impairment, but it may soon be supplemented with an article of the Criminal Code for incitement to hatred.
In the “video” of Vilnius, the attackers knock down the victim and give her about 15 blows to the head, stomach, back, and other parts of the body with their fists and legs – it is believed that the violence actually lasted longer, but not everything was broadcast. According to initial data, three criminals were beating the boy, and one was filming.
The caption for this clip postulates a youth to be “proud of” with a fire in their eyes to “protect the future of White children”.
The victim, described as a “pedophile”, was beaten to the sound of a metal-style song.
Judging by the green leaves, the outpouring of hatred has happened in recent weeks.
Outbreak of cruelty – also in Klaipėda region
Gruesome images were also distributed on the 4th of March: also in a remote, wooded area, a group of violent people knocks a young man to the ground – the “eagles” hiding their faces under the hoods of their jackets kick the victim called a “half-negro” one after another, inflicting about 20 blows on her while she is lying down.
In the text below the video, there were accusations without any evidence that the assailant was allegedly a “kicked pedophile” and that he had “desecrated several minors”.
It is maliciously taught that his “den” was spiced up by “not one and not two kicks to the head and face”, threats are made that “such scoundrels will receive a proper response”.
The young man was beaten by three men, but it is clear from the video footage that their group consisted of at least five men: the fourth was only present for a moment, and the fifth was filming everything.
Last week, a pre-trial investigation was started at the Chief Police Commissariat of Klaipėda County regarding this crime. The attackers are currently being identified.
The Telegram channel also published its own motto under this clip, which reflects humiliating expressions: “The weak will no longer rule the White man” and so on.
He praised the Nazi dictator
Blood & Honour, a neo-Nazi group founded in the United Kingdom, seems to have its followers in Lithuania.
They are few and far between, they cover themselves with patriotism, but in reality they promote ideas of violence and hatred, and they act anonymously.
On the same Telegram channel that published the scenes of violence, on January 30, it was pompously announced the 91st anniversary of the rise to power of the bloody Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler.
