The people of Lithuania live in constant fear and terror. Their personal security is nonexistent. They are harassed every minute of every day by the agents of the secret police. Without reason. without fair trials. they are imprisoned. investigated. executed. or deported for slave labor to remote areas of the Soviet Union. Seven major waves of mass deportations. carried out under inhuman conditions. have diminished the total population of Lithuania by more than 350.000. Lithuania. a predominantly Roman Catholic population. has also seen her priests murdered. jailed. deported. or exiled. Of nearly 2.000 priests. we are told less than 750 remain free and alive. Monasteries have been closed.
