Dear sir or madam,

We are writing to protest about the Spanish officer’s actions against Lithuania and Lithuanian people in Euro basket 2007 championship.

The flag of Lithuania was desecrated. It was cut with knife by officer before the mach between France and Lithuania. We condemn officer’s actions against Lithuanian flag and Lithuanian people. It is brutal Nazis manifestation in the European Union. And also this action stimulates international disagreement between nations. Such actions must be condemned and causers must be punished. There must be no tolerance to such actions in the European Union.

The people who were asking about the desecration of the flag were laid on the ground by force and thrashed to blood. For us it looks like big infringement of human rights.

So we expect Spanish authority’s public apology of Lithuania and Lithuanian people. Also respectively actions to solve this situation and punishment of Spanish officer who desecrated the flag of Lithuania, otherwise we will be forced to make an applications to all necessary instances to find a truth.

Yours faithfully,
Citizens of Republic of Lithuania
