Lithuanian Migration Department explained how Skindzerau will be deported
Until the 14-day period for appealing the decision in court expires, he remains legally in Lithuania.
The Migration Department of the Lithuanian Ministry of Internal Affairs responded to Nasha Niva's inquiry about businessman Dzmitry Skindzerau, whose refugee status was revoked.
To the question of by what date Skindzerau must leave Lithuania, the department clarified the wording: "Such a person is not obliged to leave, but is expelled from Lithuania, i.e., deported." According to the response, the expulsion must be carried out by employees of the State Border Guard Service.
Skindzerau previously stated that his Belarusian passport had expired. To the question of how the decision is executed in such a case, the department replied that the deportee "is provided with a return document from the country of origin," after which he is expelled from Lithuania.
Skindzerau is a citizen of Belarus. According to the text of the decision he published, he is to be deported specifically to Belarus.

The department also wrote that they became aware of Skindzerau's intention to appeal the decision to revoke his refugee status in court. He has 14 days for this. "During this period, the foreigner is still legally in Lithuania," the agency noted.
The department refused to comment on the motives of the decision. They promise to present them for the first time at a court hearing if the decision is appealed. As explained by the agency, publicizing the circumstances of the case "may influence the future court decision." The department is ready to comment on its motives only after a court decision that cannot be appealed is rendered.
As "Nasha Niva" previously wrote, the decision to revoke refugee status is based on the conclusion of the Lithuanian State Security Department, which considered Skindzerau a threat to national security. In addition to deportation, Skindzerau, according to the text of the decision he himself published, is prohibited from entering Lithuania for 10 years and the Schengen zone for 5 years. Skindzerau himself disagrees with the decision and stated that he will appeal it in court.
According to the Lithuanian Law on the Legal Status of Foreigners, if a decision is made due to a threat to state security, an appeal to the court does not suspend its execution.
