ITNJ TRUSTEES DIPLOMATIC OUTREACH VISIT TO LITHUANIA
On
12 April 2016 , in a meeting room in the Lithuanian Parliament building , Sacha Stone , Lewis Montague , and Caleb Skinner , three of the Trustees of the ITNJ , spoke with about 30 people , mostly aspiring litigants with their own personal tragic stories . Sacha , backed up by Caleb , outlined the reasons for the ITNJ , and Lewis outlined the details of procedures in using the ITNJ and the International Prosecution Service ( IPS ).

So it was agreed to look first at a landmark case addressing corruption at high levels within the Lithuanian government .
The meeting adjourned and recommenced shortly after in the Press Conference Hall of the Lithuanian Parliament , where Sacha , Caleb , Lewis , and Lina Helstein , Chapter Chair of the Eastern Europe Chapter of the Committee to Support the ITNJ , sat on the front bench each with a microphone and
took questions from the audience , to further clarify what had been agreed in the previous meeting . It was a very productive meeting with great enthusiasm being shown by members of the audience for everything the ITNJ stood for . The atmosphere pervading the room was quite euphoric in that there was a genuine belief from the participants that something great and positive was happening .
Three main meetings took place , one each day , with other smaller meetings taking place in between , especially in the evenings . At one such meeting , Sacha offered to spearhead a full campaign to raise 300,001 signatures to back the efforts of the ITNJ , coupled with a fundraising exercise . Sacha called on Lina to organize a support team that would work with Sacha to carry out such a campaign .
On 13 April 2016 , Lina , Sacha , Caleb , and Lewis met with a group of lawyers , which included an active prosecutor and a policewoman . After much
