This is not the first time we are speaking for Ida Nudel. When she was sent to internal exile in Siberia many of our distinguished colleagues sent letters of protest on her behalf. When she was released from Siberia. again letters were sent to the Soviet authorities asking that she be allowed to immigrate to Israel. Her continuous brave struggle to exercise her basic right to emigrate is an inspiration to the thousands of Soviet refuseniks who have been consistently thwarted in their efforts to join family and friends outside the Soviet Union. Because of her activities on behalf of the exiled and imprisoned within the U.S.S.R. Ida Nudel is a symbol of hope for those who are silenced and those who are persecuted. I would once again urge the Soviet authorities to honor their international treaty obligationsspecifically the Universal Declaration on Human Rights and the Helsinki Final Actand allow Ida Nudel to immigrate to Israel to join her family.*
