Paritsky had been unjustifiably arrested for antiSoviet agitation and propoganda. In November 1981. he was sentenced to a 3year term in a labor camp for defaming the Soviet state. The poor conditions there. including his inadequate diet. have contributed heavily to a deteriorating physical condition. Now. under the threat of harsher treatment. he is now being pressured to publicly repent his alleged crimes. Mr. Paritsky applied to emigrate to Israel in 1976. He has now been told that this application will not even be considered until 1990. Meanwhile. his wife and two daughters have been subjected to ever increasing levels of harassment.
