Lithuania, along with all the Baltic states, claim they believed in freedom of speech and expression. And they fought for their independence from the USSR during the Gorbachev era because of suppression of nationalism and freedom of speech/expression. By implementing that law, they are basically acting like hypocrites. The government is claiming they promote freedom, yet there banning symbols/anthem of regimes that wrer succeeded 69(Nazi Administration in Lithuania) and 20 years ago (Lithuanian S.S.R. ends).
