In recent days. many of us spoke on behalf of Ida Nudel. the lone Jewish woman prisoner of conscience exiled to Siberia. as well as on behalf of Raoul Wallenberg. the Swedish diplomat who liberated tens of thousands of Hungarian Jews during World War II only to mysteriously disappear as the Russians were entering Budapest. We call on the Soviets to demonstrate compassion and to act in a humanitarian spirit toward all prisoners of conscience. We urge President Carter to expand his efforts to gain their freedom and to push for the continued flow of Soviet emigration. which unfortunately has decreased this year. We look to the President as well for renewed leadership in all human rights endeavors. On a related matter. the former defense attorney for Mark Dymshits at the Leningrad trials.
