Dr. Brailovsky and his wife. Irina. have sought permission to emigrate from the Soviet Union to Israel to join his brother. Mikhail. Butin spite of specific references in the Helsinki accords to reunification of familiesthose requests have been denied. In fact. in the instance when Dr. Brailovsky was granted permission. in 1976. pemission for his wife and children was denied. Clearly. he did not see that as a viable option given his experience with emigration officials. Leaving alone would have likely left him separated from his wife and children for years and. possibly. forever. To bring attention to this blatant violation of the provisions of the Helsinki Pact.
