In light of this Soviet campaign of intimidation. the actions of Boris Chernobilsky and Simon Shnirman are all the more admirable. If these refuseniks. and countless others like them. have the courage to continud their resistance to oppression. the least that we in the West can do is continue our campaign to gain freedom for Soviet Jews. I strongly believe that the issues of emigration and human rights should remain high on the agenda in all relevant forums. including the Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europes followup meetings and the United Nations Commission on Human Rights. The rapidly deteriorating situation. however. indicates that new avenues must be explored to ameliorate the plight of Jews in the Soviet Union. We must encourage further participation of our Western allies and neutral and nonalined nations in this effort.
