Kislik has been subjected to constant harassment. including threats. KGB surveillance. interrogations. and brutal beatings. Last July. Kislik was committed by Soviet authorities to a state mental institution to prevent any antiSoviet activity during the Moscow Olympics. After the resolution I introduced condemning Mr. Kisliks mistreatment passed the House. he was released from the mental institution but remains locked in the Soviet jail denied emigration rights. Vladimir Kisliks case is not an isolated one. but yet another example of Soviet violations of principles set forth in the Helsinki Final Act. Hundreds of Soviet refuseniks have been subjected to similar persecution.
