A. Skaisgirytė stated on Tuesday during an interview with “Radio News” that various investigations concerning a specific facility have failed to provide conclusive evidence. She noted that the National Security and Defense Committee of the Seimas (NSGK), following a three-year parliamentary investigation, did not confirm the existence of the alleged prison, merely confirming that the premises were present.
Furthermore, she referenced a 2011 investigation conducted by the US Senate, adding that this body also failed to establish definitive proof, relying instead on assumptions. Regarding the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR), Skaisgirytė pointed out that its findings were reportedly based significantly on the opinions of human rights organizations concerning the supposed prison in Lithuania. When questioned about the reliability of further inquiry, she expressed considerable doubt about whether any subsequent investigation would yield greater clarity on the matter.
The discussion touches upon the broader context of accountability, referencing statements that suggest the Lithuanian president does not value the decisions or inactions of his predecessors. Skaisgirytė concluded by mentioning a recent development involving the ECtHR, which in early July stated that a Saudi Arabian citizen suspected of terrorism linked to “Al Qaeda” was a suspect within Saudi Arabia. She implied that the pattern of historical reviews suggests that definitive legal confirmation, even after extensive review, remains elusive.
