Speaker. once again. we in the free world must condemn the Soviet Unions harsh treatment of socalled dissidents. Ida Nudel. known affectionately as the Guardian Angel for her activities on behalf of Soviet Jewish Prisoners of Conscience. was charged and convicted in June 1978 of "malicious hooliganism" and sentenced to 4 years in exile. When arrested. a banner was hanging outside her Moscow flat stating "KGB. give me my visa." The Soviet police claimed this was vandalism and proceeded to incarcerate her. It was. however. merely their means of quieting her pleas for justice. By banishing Ida Nudel in 1978 to the dreadful quarters she now occupies in Siberia. the Soviet authorities assumed they were silencing this voice of justice.
