Each day we learn of new cases. The Soviet Union has shut its doors. We fear what goes on behind them. Since 1979. the number of Jewish citizens allowed to emigrate has decreased sharply. As a result. many families are broken apart. and relatives fear for the health and safety of loved ones left behind. In addition to emigration refusals. there is evidence of severe discrimination to the Jewish people in the Soviet Union. Many cannot find jobs. and are denied religious freedom. We must not and will not remain silent to this injustice. By continuing to speak out on behalf of Soviet Jewry. we encourage and give hope to those Soviet citizens seeking justice.
