Contents
Activities
On 29 November 2008, Drąsius Kedys accused Laimutė Stankūnaitė of allowing Jonas Furmanavičius and Andrius Ūsas to sexually molest their young daughter. Frustrated by lack of progress in the investigation, Kedys took the case public. He published a video with his daughter's testimony, sent out DVDs to politicians, and appeared in the media. Still no case was brought before trial.
Exposure
Western commercially-controlled media has not shown much interest in the case. In 2012, The Independent reported that 39 protestors were arrested by Lithuanian police.[3]
As of March 2018, a YouTube search on "Drąsius Kedys" turned up about 1220 results.[4]
Death
On 24 April 2010 the body of Kedys was buried in Jonučiai cemetery, with 6,000 - 10,000 people in attendance.[5]
