Does being suspected of a criminal offence automatically justify revoking a permanent residence permit in Lithuania?


In this video, I examine a judgment of the Supreme Administrative Court of Lithuania that clarifies the legal standard authorities must satisfy before relying on public order grounds to revoke the enhanced protection afforded to permanent residents. The case highlights the importance of an individual and proportionate assessment rather than assumptions based solely on criminal proceedings.
