The Jewish minority within the Soviet Union enjoys none of these. and if they try to practice any of these basic rights. imprisonment or unrelenting harassment usually results. As we honor "International Day of Concern for the Soviet Jews" keep in mind that this is also the seventh anniversary of the arrest of activist Anatoly Shcharansky. Mr. Shcharansky should serve as an example to all of us who love freedom and cherish human dignity. We in the U.S. Congress today recognize the oppression of Soviet Jews and more importantly. send a message to the Soviet leadership that if the Jewish minority within their country are not treated justly. simple humanity demands that they must be allowed to emigrate.
