Julija Samorokovskaja, Head of the Communications Division of the Vilnius County Police Chief Commissariat (VPK), told tv3.lt: “Currently, the police are on duty in the Seimas. There are no more people yet. “
The Seimas building is fenced with a stop strip of approximately 75 meters. Cars turning onto A. Tumėno Street, which was blocked Tuesday night, are stopped by officials and asked for what purpose.

Access to the Government House in Vilnius was also blocked on Wednesday morning. It is fenced with a metal fence and a stop strip. Police teams are also on duty here.
The portal tv3.lt asked how long the police plan to keep the forces concentrated near the Seimas.
“It just came to our attention then. <...> In fact, there are no restrictions on the duration of the appointment of officials. Whatever you need, you will be on the alert, ”replied J. Samorokovskaja, communication specialist at the Vilnius County LSC. According to her, the police are prepared for all cases.
Officials are now conducting a pre-trial investigation to analyze whether Lithuanian laws have been violated during the riots. A police spokeswoman said that although an investigation is currently underway, more investigations may be launched in the future.
“A pre-trial investigation into the riots is underway. <...> So far, a study has been launched. Of course, it can also be combined. Perhaps after evaluating all the information about the demonstration that took place both during the day and at night, the police can initiate further pre-trial investigations, ”said J. Samorokovskaja.
He noted that it is now extremely difficult to talk about possible study findings. According to J. Samorokovskaya, a large number of video images of the riots have accumulated, so officials have a long way to go to assess and review all the information.
A pre-trial investigation was launched because the actions of the participants in the riots are considered a criminal act, Samorokovskaya said. He added that the pre-trial investigation is organized and directed by the Prosecutor’s Office.
“As we know, 26 people have been arrested and they are currently being worked on. The problems of bringing these people to justice will be addressed,” he said.
People are usually detained for 48 hours. If they are charged during that time, the court decides on the further detention of the people.
When asked how many police officers were affected by the rioters’ assault, Samorokovskaya replied: “We have information at this time that more than 10 officers have been affected. When your shift is over, you can see a doctor later. “
Police officers suffered various physical injuries. “Yesterday stones, sticks, bottles and pyrotechnic articles were thrown at the agents. I couldn’t say specifically about specific injuries, but there are several, “said Samorokovskaya.
According to yesterday’s data, an officer needed medical help: they took him to the hospital. Other agents received outpatient treatment after the examination; he was discharged for treatment at home.
The tv3.lt portal recalls that on Wednesday the Government intends to decide on new restrictions for people without immunity from COVID-19.
On Tuesday, a massive protest took place in Vilnius near the Seimas, which later escalated into riots.
At the end of the working day and after the extraordinary session of the parliamentarians, the protesters had blocked all the exits of the parliament building and blocked the doors of the inner courtyard of the Seimas. The members of the Seimas were able to leave the palace, but were immediately surrounded by protesters and began to express their indignation, insults and some received threats.
Initially it was impossible to get out of the Seimas by car.
At night, riot police pushed the protesters away from the patio door and made an exit hall. Officials used tear gas. The participants of the campaign threw bottles, stones, flares, fired firecrackers and so on at the officers.
