Now. in still another blatant manifestation of the states antiJewish policy. 31 Soviet Jews have been arrested and charged with involvement in a socalled aircraft "hijacking" incident. and the Soviet Union is threatening to conduct "show trials" to make examples of them. This is a travesty and an affront to all people the world over Who believe in religious freedom and the dignity of man. These Jews are not hijackers or criminals of any kind. Their only desire is to leave the Soviet Union and emigrate to Israel which they revere as their ancestral homeland. I hope that the Soviet Union abandons whatever plans there may be for these "show trials." which would be a mockery of justice. These trials should be called off and the falsely accused Jewish prisoners should be released.
