The tragedy of Liza and Aleksei continues and perhapsif nothing changeswill last even longer. In this extreme position. after long and painful reflection. my wife. Elena Bonner. a veteran wounded in the Second World War. and I have made the decision to begin a hunger strike on November 22 to demand that Liza be granted permission to emigrate from the U.S.S.R. In communicating this decision I hope that you will understand the motives behind this step we are taking. its inner necessity for us in this tragic situation. I consider the defense of our children just as rightful as the defense of other victims of injustice. but in this case it is precisely me and my public activities which have been the cause of human suffering.
