A Lithuanian court last week refused to release an Irishman who was detained in an entrapment operation mounted by Lithuanian Police and British Intelligence.

Under legal confidentiality rules, Lithuanian officials have refused to confirm reports that the man is Michael Campbell whose circumstances we reported on some weeks ago in Celtic News - see:

Lawyers acting for the man had complained about shortcomings in the judicial process but these were brushed aside by the Court. The case is fairly high profile and it is clear that political considerations both domestically and internationally may be affecting the judicial process.

The Celtic League have previously drawn the attention of the Irish government to the deficiencies in the Lithuanian judicial system.
