Lithuanian Teens Arrested for Violating 'Public Displays of Nazi Symbols' Law

The two teenage history buffs dressed up in military gear like so many times before for the seaside summer festival. One sported the green fatigues of the Red Army. The other donned the grayish uniform of the German Wehrmacht.

Only this time, they ended up in jail, charged with violating a new law banning public displays of communist and Nazi symbols.

Verdicts are expected Friday in a legal test for the disputed legislation pushed through Lithuania's Parliament in June amid growing concern over a resurgent Russia and lingering divisions with Moscow over the Soviet legacy in the Baltics.
