76
As of May 2022, 352 persons were undergoing
involuntary treatment in the Rokiškis Forensic Psychiatric
Hospital. Of these, 281 have an established disability and
53 have established ‘special needs’. However, the data do
not reveal how many people are receiving treatment after
being subjected to coercive medical measures by the
court. Nevertheless, it has been established that between
2005 (the start of LITEKO95) and the end of 2021, 3,212
persons have been subjected to compulsory medical
measures.96

In Lithuania all the information about each case heard in courts
(procedural documents of parties to the proceedings, parties to the
proceedings and other participants in the proceedings, the course of
proceedings, procedural documents of court) is stored in the judicial
information system called LITEKO. Since 2004 this system has been
serviced and maintained by the Informatics Division of the National Courts
Administration.
