Shcharanskys deeprooted desire to live in his cultural homeland. Israel. has been consistently denied. Not only has Shcharansky remained relentless in his pursuit of his constitutional right to live where he chooses. but. more importantly. he has waged a tireless and courageous effort on behalf of all Soviet citizens who have been restricted. deprived and often imprisoned merely because of their legitimate plea to emigrate. As Shcharansky became actively involved in the human rights movement in his country. as he became increasingly aware of the injustices evident in the totalitarian Soviet society. and as he became more outspoken about the inequitable treatment many of his fellow citizens endured. Soviet authorities responded with irrational and severe pressureeventually leading to his arrest on March 15. 1977.
