Rita Stundienė, a representative of the Attorney General’s Office, informed BNS on Monday that prosecutors had released five suspects with lighter preventive detention measures.

Earlier on Monday, an arrested suspect was released by the Vilnius Regional Court, and three more were released last Friday.

According to the prosecutor’s office, a suspect who was arrested last week remains under arrest.

A total of 31 people were suspected of rioting before the Seimas in the case, and there are also 21 victims in the case.

This was announced on Monday night by the news portal 15min.lt.

About 5,000. On August 10, people gathered before the Seimas in Vilnius to express their opposition to the government’s planned restrictions on people who do not have immunity to the coronavirus and who do not undergo tests.

After the Seimas session, some of the protesters blocked the exits of the parliamentary building and the exit of the inner courtyard of the Seimas. When they were taken from the building by officers, riots broke out: bottles were thrown at officers, flares were fired and tear gas was used at protesters.

The police and the prosecution are conducting a large-scale investigation into the riots and the video sent to them by the public.
