According
to
the
minutes
of
the
Šakiai
district
MGB
meetings
in
1953
,
the
MGB
was
following
instructions
from
the
Soviet
Central
Committee
and
the
Soviet
MGB
,
to
the
effect
that
“
bandits
and
[
the
]
nationalist
underground
”
and
“
bandits
,
those
who
help
them
and
their
contacts
”
were
to
be
exterminated
(
see
paragraph
18
)
.
Some
of
those
statements
about
“
the
fight
against
the
nationalist
underground
”
were
made
by
the
applicant
himself
(
see
paragraph
19
)
.
Such
statements
are
very
similar
to
those
that
were
analysed
by
the
Court
in
a
case
against
Germany
,
in
which
the
orders
to
protect
the
Berlin
Wall
and
to
arrest
“
border
violators
”
or
to
“
annihilate
”
them
were
examined
(
see
K.-H.W.
v.
Germany
,
cited
above
,
§
§
64
-
65
)
.
In
Prosecutor
v.
Jean
de
Dieu
Kamuhanda
,
the
ICTR
also
expressed
the
opinion
that
it
may
be
difficult
to
find
explicit
manifestations
of
intent
by
perpetrators
.
Under
such
circumstances
,
the
ICTR
held
that
the
perpetrators
’
actions
,
including
circumstantial
evidence
,
may
provide
sufficient
evidence
of
intent
.
According
to
the
ICTR
,
some
of
the
indicia
of
intent
may
be
“
[
e]vidence
such
as
the
physical
targeting
of
the
group
or
of
their
property
;
the
use
of
derogatory
language
toward
members
of
the
targeted
group
;
the
weapons
employed
and
the
extent
of
bodily
injury
;
the
methodical
way
of
planning
,
the
systematic
manner
of
killing
”
