Yesterday the imitation of Israeli flag was burned down in the centre of Taurage
while Nazi march was played loudly. Saulius Ozelis, member
of the region council, who is infamous for scandalous actions,
was glad that he was not hindered by anyone. Algirdas Meizenis,
chief commissar of Taurage regional police, indicated to
Lietuvos rytas that the police had no information about the
campaign. Meanwhile, member of the region council stated
to have organized a meeting for his electors- Several residents
of Taurage and several dozen activists of the Lithuanian
Freedom Union, who arrived in Taurage by bus, participated
in the meeting. Vytautas Sustauskas, leader of the Union,
did not come to the meeting. S. Ozelis organized the campaign
in protest against Efraim Zuroff, leader of Simon Wiesenthal
centre, Jerusalem branch, which is investigating holocaust
crimes. The leader of the centre arrived in Lithuania at
the beginning of July and offered a 10 thousand USD award
for the provided information on Nazi criminals in Lithuania.
S. Ozelis asserted to the participants of the meeting that
E. Zuroff should not look for Jews' killers here and that Lithuania
was rescuing Jews.
