•A doctor’s wife on the boat said to Jones:
•“Exiles? The peasants have been sent away in thousands to starve. Didn’t you see them in Kayan? Being exiled just because they’ve
worked hard
throughout their lives.
•It’s terrible how they
have treated them; they have not given them anything; no bread cards [even]. They sent a lot to Tashkent, [where I was,] and just left them on the square. The exiles did not know what to do. Very many starved to death.”
