Latvia. and Estonia have been subjected to some of the most brutal forms of oppression ever instiLuted by the Kremlin. Under Stalin. Khrushchev. Brezhnev. Andropov. and Chernenko. thousands of Lithuanians. Latvians. and Estonians have been siaughtered. deported. exiled. imprisoned in slave labor camps or committed to psychiatric institutions. These ruthless dictators have pursued a policy which denies the Baltic people even the most basic of human rights. in clear violation of the United Nations universal declaration on human rights and the Helsinki final act. Despite repeated professions of support for the principles embodied in the final act. the Soviets blatantly violated the rights to selfdetermination guaranteed the Baltic people.
