THE WHITE HOUSE Office of the Press Secretary For Immediate Release October 7, 1986 REMARKS BY THE PRESIDENT IN MEETING WITH HUMAN RIGHTS LEADERS The Cabinet Room 3:42 P.M. EDT TH~ PRESIDENT: I have a few remarks here. I welcome this opportunity to talk with you about a most important subject of my upcoming meeting with General Secretary Gorbachev: human rights. And I know your interest in that. And with me, as you know, is Yuri Orlov and Mrs. Orlov. Yuri is a founding member of the Independent Soviet Helsinki Monitoring Group~ a man who has done more to inform the world of current Soviet' human rights violations than any man on Earth. As I said yesterday, a hero for our time. The west owes him a profound debt, both for his courage ·and fortitude under unspeakable conditions, and for reminding us how precious are the freedoms that we sometimes take for granted. As you all know, there has been much speculation that our upcoming meeting in Reykjavik will focus on arms control. But true peace requires respect for human rights and freedom as well as arms control. We go to Iceland in pursuit of peace. But it's important tha~ the world and our adversaries understand that we Americans -­ what we mean when we speak of peace. Peace is not simply an absence of war, it's the presence of justice -- and human rights, human freedom are its indispensible elements. These fundamental values and beliefs are matters on which we Americans cannot and will not compromise.

When you were arrested, what did they arrest you for, why did they bring you here? The first time I was arrested was for participating in the Resistance movement. There was an underground organization active in Kaunas which worked with the partisans from the western part of Lithuania. We were eventually identified and arrested in the spring of 1948. The sentencing took place in Vilnius. I received 25 years, which I served in various prison camps in Russia. I was forbidden to return to Lithuania, but eventually I did so anyway and lived here "semi-legally" at that time. When I left Lithuania it was an occupied country and when I returned it was still an occupied country, so it was logical and necessary to again get involved in resisting the Occupation. The second time I got caught was in 1977. I was incarcerated here for a year for interrogation, spent time in this cell and in other cells as well. I was eventually sentenced to 10 years in a special security prison camp plus 5 years' deportation.

  • Religion and Nationalism in Lithuania
    Religion and Nationalism in Lithuania MARITE SAPIETS In Lithuania, as in neighbouring Poland, the Catholic Church holds a special place in the national consciousness. Lithuania's conversion to Catholicism in the 13th century marked the beginning of its long alliance with Poland: indeed, from 1385 to 1794, the two nations were formally united in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania-Poland, which was the greatest Catholic power in Eastern Europe and at one time stretched from the Baltic to the ,Black Sea. After 1794, when Lithuania and Poland were largely absorbed into the Russian Empire, the Catholic Church in Lithu­ ania found itself ina completely changed situation: from being the state religion, it became the religion of an oppressed non-Russian nation whose rulers elevated their own Russian Orthodox Church to· the position of state church. From the beginning of the 19th century, systematic Russifi­ cation went hand in hand with discrimination against the Catholic Church. In the reign of Nicholas I, most of the lands and monasteries of the·Lithuanian Catholic Church were confiscated and handed over to the Russian Orthodox Church. Lithuanian high schools and academies were closed, Lithuanian national law was abolished and the very use of the term "Lithuania" was officially banned.1 In these circumstances, the Catholic Church came to be seen as a defender of the Lithuanian national heritage. The two great Lithuanian anti-Tsarist revolts of the 19th cen­ tury - in 1831 and 1863 - had strong links with the Catholic Church. After the revolt of 1831, the theological academy of Vilnius - one of the centres of rebellion - was transferred to St Petersburg and the University .
