Shcharansky. who has been reported to be in very poor health. is eligible for such an early release. In fact. when responding earlier this year to an appeal from Georges Marchais. General Secretary of the Communist Party of France. Soviet leader Yuri Andropov confirmed that persons. like Mr. Shcharansky. could be freed early in the Soviet Union. On the occasion of Anatoly Shcharansky Day I join New Yorkers and millions of freedom loving people throughout the world in calling on the Soviet Union to abide by their own laws and release Mr. Shcharansky. and allow him to emigrate to Israel and join his wife. Avital. Simply put.
