There could be no joyous birthday celebration. however. because Ida Nudel remained unjustly incarcerated in a Siberian prison camp. But we can. once again. remind the world of her plight. and restate our determination that Ida Nudel. and other political and religious prisoners in the Soviet Union. must be freed. It is now almost 2 years since Ida Nudel was arrested in Moscow on ludicrous charges of "malicious hooliganism." Her crime. in Soviet eyes. was to display from her window a banner reading "KGB Give Me My Visa"-this after 7 years of unsuccessful attempts to emigrate to Israel to join her husband and her sister. Convicted after a mock trial from which defense witnesses were excluded. she was sentenced to 4 years of internal exile in Siberia. The harsh winters. poor living conditions and lack of adequate medical attention have taken their toll. and her health is reported to be fragile.
