Shcharanskys mother and brother were permitted to visit him this past January. His mother feels that his condition is growing worse. that Soviet authorities have intensified their harassment. and that her son is not hopeful that he will be able to see his mother again. The Soviet Government has repeatedly imposed this kind of arbitrary. inhumane treatment on innocent human beings who merely want the freedom to emigrate. How long will it take before the Soviet Government acknowledges that freedom and the dream of liberty cannot be locked up. starved. or hidden away. neither can it be psychologically erased. This dream lives in the hearts of the many who are oppressed and will not expire at the hands of force.
