The answer is simply this: The humble figure of Anatoly Shcharansky represents the triumph of the human spirit. which even the power of the Soviet state fails to subdue. He lives the truth. he committed no crime and will admit to none. He wishes to emigrate to a land where the desire to live. speak. and worship freely does not represent an inherent threat to an oppressive regime. We must not. and will not. forget Anatoly Shcharansky. as we must never forget the basic ideals of personal freedom. religious freedom. and government by law. Our continuing concern for Anatoly Shcharansky is a message to the Soviet Union and all other nations of the world which persecute. discriminate and subjugate.
