Moroz is now near death as a result of a 2month hunger strike undertaken in response to the extreme harshness of prison life which has left him cut off from family and friends and denied him the attention of a physician to treat his illness. These two brave Ukrainian men are among the courageous dissidents in the U.S.S.R. who only wish to be assured of their national identity. their national language. and the freedom of cultural expressionthe very rights we in America take for granted. If we are committed to insuring these basic human rights for all citizens and ending the plight of Valentyn Moroz and Leonid Plyushch. then it is up to all of us to keep our voices raised in protest against their imprisonment and not to cease in our efforts on their behalf until they are freed from prison and permitted to emigrate with their families to a country of their choice.
