Mr. Speaker. on June 25. 1980. I brought the plight of Zina and Arkady Abranzon to my colleagues attention as a part of the Spirit of Helsinki Vigil. 1980. Unfortunately. this imprisoned couples situation has worsened since then. so now. during Oppressed Jewry WeekJanuary 23 through January 30. 1981. I would like to speak again on their behalf. Mr. and Mrs. Abranzon are Soviet Jewish citizens who had planned to apply for exit visas. Mr. Abranzon was the director of several electronics stores. and his wife was in charge of a jewelry and gift store. The Soviet police broke into the Abranzons apartment on October 5. 1979. confiscated all of their possessions. and incarcerated them at IvanoFrankovsk. a trailisolation prison in the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic. where they were held without trial for more than 1 year.
