Shcharansky is guilty is of championing the cause of human rights. an unwritten. yet severely punishable. crime in the Soviet Union. I need not explore the wellknown events of his 1978 trial. when Mr. Shcharansky was convicted on a trumpedup charge of treason. This charge has never been substantiated. and is. in the last analysis. only a sinister attempt to silence the voice of a courageous man who wishes nothing more than to exercise the rights of freedom of expression. emigration. and immigration. Mr. Shcharansky has demonstrated a rare form of valor in seeking these rights. not only for himself. but for all Jewish people who are denied them in the Soviet Union.
