Moscow Games
Sir, — People who. like James J. Read, (July 19) make wildly slanderous charges that there are in the Soviet Union concentration camps “as bad as Sachsenhausen” or “as murderous as Matthausen” and on this flimsy basis advocate sanctions against the Moscow Olympics should be prepared to furnish some concrete, factual proof of the existence of these camps. Not that of Alexander Solzhenitsyn, the kindest that
can be said of whom is that he is a highly imaginative fiction-writer, nor Amnesty International which draws its evidence from the suspect source of the dissident movement. Does James J. Read advocate similar sanctions against the United Kingdom for th? concentration camp at Long Kesh in the six occupied counties of Ulster, whose existence is well and truly authenticated? — Yours, etc.. M. CREEL. July 19, 1979.
