In 1977. Anatoly Shcharansky was arrested on charges of making contact with agents of the CIAa charge which the United States has repeatedly denied. He is currently serving the remainder of his 13year sentence for treason in the Perm labor camp. while his only "crime" was his leadership and effort in assisting Jews in exercising their constitutionally guaranteed right to emigrate. Our expression of outrage toward the Soviet Union in their failure to uphold their agreement with the other nations in signing the Helsinki accords should continue and we demand that they recognize and provide basic human rights and religious freedoms to their citizens. Anatoly Shcharansky should not be imprisoned.
