Mr. Speaker. once again. we in the free world must condemn the Soviet Unions harsh treatment of so called "dissidents." Ida Nudel. known affectionately as the "Guardian Angel" for her activities on behalf of Soviet Jewish Prisoners of Conscience was charged and convicted in June 1978. of "malicious hooliganism" and sentenced to 4 years of internal exile. When arrested. a banner was hanging outside her Moscow fiat saying "KGB. give me my visa." The Soviet police claimed this was vandalism and proceeded to incarcerate her. It was. however. merely their means of quieting her pleas for justice. Since 1971. her repeated requests for a visa to go to Israel have been refused. Disturbed by her persistent efforts to keep up the morale of those in forced labor camps. the KGB constantly subjected Ida Nudel to harassment and intimidation. Gradually. this persecution took its toll on her physically. and now. at 49. she is afflicted with heart trouble.
