Among those individuals for whom this discrimination has been particularly harsh is Ida Nudel. Often called the "Guardian Angel of the Prisoners of Conscience." Ida Nudels life has been one of continual harassment. persecution. and abuse. In 1978. she was arrested and charged with "malicious hooliganism" for publicly hanging a banner from her balcony requesting a visa to join her sister in Israel. Idas visa application has been ignored. despite numerous outside efforts to help her. Hence. she is being denied not only the basic right to travel and to live amongst her own people. she is being denied a reunion with her only remaining relative. We must not forget Ida Nudel or others like her. they remain the conscience of the world.*
