On 5/7 at the special evening with Lithuania in New York & Polish Cultural Institute New York and nearly 200 guests we celebrated 234th anniversary of the introduction of the May 3rd Constitution. Ideas of liberty enshrined there for centuries guided our nations in their development and fight for freedom.

Today, we remember Romas Kalanta, a herald of freedom. 52 years ago, a 19 year old student set himself on fire in the streets of Kaunas shouting "Freedom for #Lithuania!".

Kalanta's self-immolation in 1972 caused panic among Soviet authorities, who tried to cover up the event and organized his funeral 2 hours earlier than scheduled to avoid any gatherings. People were outraged. It sparked resistance & protests against the Soviet regime continued.

People marched in the streets chanting "Long live independent #Lithuania!". Internal forces were deployed to quell the unrest. On the Day of Civil Resistance, we pay tribute to the memory of Romas Kalanta, one of the key symbols of 🇱🇹 resistance against the Soviet regime.

Hate can start wars, like #russianWarCrimes started as #HateSpeech. Kremlin's narratives dehumanised Ukrainians, and motivated russians to commit atrocities against them. Hate has nothing to do with freedom of speech. We must use the tools we have to stop the hate that sows wars.
