And what was Ida Nudels crime tha she should be sentenced to 4 years of exile in the wastelands of Siberia? Was it theft or assault or embezzlement? No. my trusted colleagues. Ida Nudel is in prison because she wanted to express the basic human right of living where she wanted to. In this case. with her loved ones in Israel. The Soviet courts found her guilty of "malicious hooliganism" for hanging a banner on her apartment balcony which simply said: "KGB. give me my visa." Reports from Ida Nudels family indicate that the brave womans health has severely deteriorated and there is doubt that she could withstand another Siberian winter. Mr. Speaker.
