In August of 1940. the Communist leadership of the Soviet Union illegally annexed the free and independent country of Lithuania. Since the incorporation. which the United States still does not recognize. the freedomloving people of Lithuania have been subjected to some of the most brutual forms of oppression instituted by the Kremlin. Under Stalin. Khrushchev. Brezhnev. and Yuri Andropov. thousands of Lithuanians have been slaughtered. deported. exiled. imprisoned in slave labor camps or committed to psychiatric institutions. Meanwhile the Soviet Government has enthusiastically. and hypocritically. joined in support of such important documents on human rights as the U.N. Universal Declaration on Human Rights and the Helsinki Final Act.
