Ida was sentenced on June 21. 1978 under the charge of "malicious hooliganism." It is well known that these were trumpedup charges designed tc stop her constant support for other prisoners of conscience. Ida. known as the "guardian angel." had been an active supporter and companion to all those others who lay in the depths of the Soviet prisons. Since 1971. when she was first denied permission to leave Russia to emigrate to Israel under the excuse of having access to "state secrets." she has been a source of concern for human rights activists. Her help in the freedom fight is well known. We spoke respect human rights. who espouse democratic principles. who believe in justice. must shout out. must make our voices heard as we ask "Free Ida Nudel."
