Gajauskas, Balys

Balys Gajauskas was a Lithuanian activist and patriot, imprisoned by every Soviet leader except Lenin, for his activism.  He was early sentenced to twenty five years in prison for resisting the Soviets, and then in 1978 was sentenced to prison again by the Supreme Court for “anti-Soviet activity and propaganda.”  He served a term in the new Parliament from 1990-92.
