Conditions in prison are much harsher than those in the labor camp. In January 1982 Shcharanskys mother and brother were permitted to see him for 2 hours. They were his only visitors in the last 16 months. His mother fears that the severe headaches and eye disorders from which he suffered during the first 3 years of prison are returning. The Shcharansky case is an outrage that offends free men and women everywhere. Shcharansky was convicted of treason. But what is his real crime? Only his desire to emigrate to Israel with his wife. For that crime Shcharansky was sentenced to 13 years imprisonment. It has now been 5 years.
