All suspects had been made subject to supervision measures, including a written undertaking not to leave and seizure of documents, the Prosecutor’s Office said in a press release on Friday.

Twenty-three persons, including MP Sergejus Jovaisa, had been recognized as victims in this investigation, prosecutors said.

“The intensive pre-trial investigation includes the analysis of available video recordings, … other scheduled procedural actions. Prosecutors seek to clarify the circumstances and assess the actions of all persons involved in the criminal activity so as to be able to find answers to all questions from the public,” the press release said.

Some 5,000 people gathered outside the parliament building on August 10 to protest against the government's planned restrictions for people who have not developed immunity to COVID-19 and do not get tested.

When the Seimas' sitting ended, some protested blocked exits from the parliament and the driveway into the building's internal courtyard. As officers attempted to push people away, a riot broke out and officers were pelted with bottles and flares. The police used teargas against protesters. Several tens of people were detained.

Prosecutors launched a pre-trial investigation into the organization of the riot.

The Lithuanian Family Movement plans to stage another big rally outside the Lithuanian parliament (Seimas) on September 10.
