Mr. President. Nadezhda Fradkova. a Soviet Jew. was finally released from a Leningrad hospital on March 16. where she had been held for 75 days. Fradkova has become yet another symbol of Soviet human rights violations. On December 24. 1983. Nadezhda began a hunger strike in protest of Soviet harassment and repeated refusals to receive permission to emigrate. She was later abducted by Soviet authorities. taken to the emergency room of the Leningrad Hospital. and forcibly drugged and fed to break her hunger strike. In the hospital. Fradkova suffered repeated abuse. A KGB agent remained at her bedside for her entire hospital stay.
