I am fasting and joining in the prayer vigil in the name of Ida Nudel. the prisoner of conscience of my Fourth Congressional District on Long Island. For 12 long years. Ida Nudel has sought to secure a visa to join her sister in Israel. She is courageously persistent in her objectives to Soviet persecution and steadfast in her efforts supporting fellow Soviet prisoners of conscience and refuseniks. However. her efforts to win freedom have brought only harsher persecution. Ida Nudel was sentenced to 4 years in exile in the harsh wastelands of Siberia. Her crime was displaying a banner from her Moscow apartment balcony saying. "KGB Give Me My Visa." After her release. Ida finally settled in the small town of Bendery. However. the Soviet officialdom has prevented her from receiving her mail. and has questioned and threatened her repeatedly.
