Russian state TV attempts to sneak into dissident conference in Lithuania

“They attempted to make their way into a private territory, they deceived the security. I believe they were escorted outside and released. This type of conduct is unethical,” Linkevičius told BNS.

The Russian journalists had told security that they had come to pick up a person from the closed forum. The journalists reportedly entered the main building but were stopped in a hallway when it was seen that they were carrying a microphone with a Rossiya logo.
