VILNIUS - As protesters formed human chains across Hong Kong on Friday, Ramunas Terleckas was out on the streets of Lithuania’s capital Vilnius getting ready to commemorate the event which inspired them.
Thirty years later, on Friday, he was back again with around 12,000 others to form a symbolic chain in Vilnius to remember the protest that paved the way to their liberation from the Soviet Union. Lithuania’s President Gitanas Nauseda, who was marking the anniversary with his Latvian counterpart at another event on their shared border, added: “The welfare, peace and prosperity of Hong Kong’s people is a goal we all share.”
