The Seimas Controller, E. Leonaitė, has proposed that the practice of publicly disclosing conscription lists be discontinued. She argues that the current legal framework not only disproportionately restricts the rights of conscripts but also poses potential risks to national security. This suggestion comes after an individual included in the 2026 conscription list filed a complaint, highlighting their concerns about the public availability of personal data and their conscription status online.

The complaint raised serious issues regarding privacy and safety, as the publication of such information allowed for the identification of conscripts and could lead to harassment or threats. Specifically, the complainant reported receiving anonymous threats after delaying their mandatory military service. Leonaitė emphasized that the accessibility of conscription details enables anyone to ascertain when a conscript must report for health checks, thus compromising their privacy and safety.

The fallout from this issue could have significant implications for how conscription is managed in Lithuania, urging a reconsideration of transparency versus individual rights. The Controller's recommendation reflects a growing concern that such public disclosures may hinder the principle of respect for private life, ultimately suggesting that reforms in the law are necessary to protect the rights of those subject to conscription while considering the nation's security needs.
