In 1978. Ida Nudel was arrested. tried. and convicted on the charge of "malicious hooliganism" by a Soviet court. She was sentenced to serve a 4year term of exile in Siberia for having hung a sign from her window that read. "KGB give me my visa." I have always been a believer in the basic human rights of all mankind. Though many governments have. through the signing of many mutual accords. expressed their unyielding support of the same. I can find no satisfactory nor acceptable reason why the Soviet Union continues to violate these very rights of Soviet Jews. Nor do I find any reason why Ida Nudel continues to serve a most unjust sentence of exile in Siberia simply because she legitimately requested to emigrate from the Soviet to Israel. Perhaps the most important right to all mankind is the right to live ones life in a country wherein one feels most loyal and most secure. Surely there is no security for Ida Nudel in the Soviet Union.
