Latvia. and Lithuania. 1990 marks the 50th year of the invasion. seizure. and illegal incorporation of the Baltic States into the Soviet Union against the national will and desire for independence of the Baltic people. For the last 50 years. Soviet occupying forces engaged in the forced deportation of native Baltic peoples from their homelands to concentration camps in Siberia. Now. with the advent of glasnost in the Soviet Union. we call upon President Gorbachev to move out of the way and allow the aspirations of the Baltic peoples to become a reality. In the spirit of democratization and progress in the U.S.S.R.. we call upon the Soviet Union to uphold basic principles of International law. to uphold principles and rights which are guaranteed by the Soviet Constitution.
