The chairwoman of the opposition Liberal Movement, Viktorija Čmilytė-Nielsen, says she would support the initiative for a new parliamentary investigation into the possible existence of a CIA detention center in Lithuania. "I would say yes, it should be done. A parliamentary investigation is one of the possible formats; there are more grounds for it now, as after so many years and with the emergence of new information, it might be easier to establish the truth," the parliamentarian stated. According to her, it is abnormal for the state to pay compensation to individuals who were allegedly held in the CIA prison in Lithuania based on decisions from the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR), while state leaders claim that such a prison did not exist in the country. "Answering these questions is a matter of honor. Otherwise, this story will not end; it will continue, and in the future, there may be even more fines," the liberal emphasized. Moreover, she noted that currently there is more data about CIA detention centers than there was in 2009 when the Seimas Committee on National Security and Defense conducted a parliamentary investigation. The BNS agency previously reported that in early July, the Strasbourg court awarded Saudi citizen Abd al-Rahim Hussein al-Nashiri 30,000 euros for unlawful detention in a secret American prison in Lithuania two decades ago and ordered the Lithuanian authorities to seek guarantees from Washington that the terrorism suspect would not face the death penalty. This was the third such ruling by the ECHR regarding claims against Lithuania. The possibility of a CIA detention center in Lithuania was first reported by the American television channel ABC News in 2009. It stated that between 2004 and 2005, eight terrorism suspects were held near Vilnius. During the investigation, two locations in Vilnius and Antaviliai, near the capital, were identified where facilities for holding suspects could have been set up. Several CIA-related flights to Vilnius and Palanga between 2003 and 2006 were also established. In cases before the ECHR, Lithuania explained that the premises in Antaviliai, near Vilnius, were not a prison but a support center for intelligence. The country claimed that the suspicious aircraft transported not people but communication equipment to Lithuania. At the same time, a report published by the U.S. Senate in 2014 on the torture of terrorism suspects in secret CIA detention centers mentions a so-called "purple" center that operated in 2005-2006. Specific countries and officials in the document are classified; however, human rights defenders believe that this center operated in Lithuania, in Antaviliai near Vilnius.
