Latvians. and Lithuanians is a crime against humanity. While the annexation of these countries was underway. hundreds of thousands of Baltic citizens were arrested and * exiled to distant comers of the Soviet empire. dooming them to servitude in prison labor camps. This process of enslavement and deportation went on until midJune 1941. when a huge mass deportation took place involving tens of thousands. On the 25th anniversary observance of Lithuanias seizure. and on the 24th anniversary of the mass deportation of Baltic peoples by Soviet authorities. let us all hope that these Baltic peoples once again regain their national freedom.
