Murzhenkok is scheduled to be released from prison on June 15. 1984. however. there are indicators that his sentence will be extended because of socalled bad behavior. This type of action is typical of how the Soviet Union deals with Jewish citizens. Many Jews are not allowed to work in their professional fields or hold jobs of any kind because they are concerned with human rights and wish to emigrate. Under the current rule of Mr. Chernenko the Jewish emigration totals have been extremely low. his government has allowed only 50 to 80 Jews to leave the country each month. We must today. and every day. remember the continuing injustices suffered by Soviet Jews. and focus our efforts to remedy this horrible situation.e
