Caution regarding rallies planned in Vilnius and other areas on Thursday, November 14
Nov. 12, 2024, 11:46 p.m.
●A rally titled "Desimt tylos minuciu (10 minutes of silence)" is planned to take place on Thursday, November 14th from 6pm in Independence Square (Nepriklausomybes aikste) near the Parliament in the center of Vilnius.
The rally, scheduled to last one hour, is to protest against Nemunas' Dawn party joining the new coalition government after its leader was accused of making anti-Semitic remarks.
●Yesterday (November 11th), Vilnius city authorities issued permits for a gathering of up to 5,000 people, and as of last night, 3,400 people had expressed their intention to attend the rally.
●There is generally strong resistance to anti-Semitic ideas in the region, and there is a high level of interest among Lithuanian people. Also, the rally was announced on social media, so the size of the rally, including participants, is unknown.
Please be careful not to approach rallies carelessly or take photos of the participants out of curiosity, and take every effort to avoid trouble. Also, be careful not to get caught up in unexpected situations such as clashes between rally participants, government supporters, or security agencies. If you do encounter a clash, please leave the scene immediately.
●There have also been reports that similar rallies are planned to be held in Kaunas (at Unity Square (Vienybes aikste)) and Taurage (in front of the Social Democratic Party office) on the same day and at the same time, raising the possibility that these rallies will be held nationwide.
