Ida Nudel was arrested in 1978 and sentenced on charges of "malicious hooliganism." If the attempt to exercise ones own basic human rights can be defined as such. then. certainly. we are all hooligans. Ida Nudel has been punished for maintaining principles to which we are all committed. And we must continue to fight for those principles. for Ida and for all Prisoners of Conscience throughout the world. Ida Nudel is due to be released on the 20th of this month. nearly 11 years since she first petitioned the Soviet Union for an exit visa. Once again. I join my colleagues in urging the Soviet Union to allow Ida to finally embark upon her chosen destiny.
