We are talking about the most basic human rightfreedom. We often take it for granted here. but imagine if you were separated from your wife and sonfor 3 years. That is the plight of Vladimir Tsukerman. Why? Because he is a Soviet dissident. His wife. Faina. and his son were allowed to emigrate to Israel in 1978. Vladimir was not. He was recently arrested for participating in a peaceful demonstration. and sentenced to the maximum term of 3 years in a labor camp for a "violation of the social order." If nothing is done. he and his family are now confronted with at least 6 years of separation.
