Bonner. in the meantime. has been charged with antiSoviet agitation and threatened with even more serious charges of treason. which carry a possible death sentence. She has been prohibited from leaving the city of Gorky. where her husband has been confined in internal exile since Andrei Sakharov and Yelena Bonner are people of singular courage and integrity. Their persecution in this flagrant manner is an affront to all who believe in humanitarian ideals and fundamental civil liberties. I strongly urge the Soviet Government to reconsider its recent actions and to allow Dr. Sakharov and Mrs. Bonner to emigrate from the Soviet Union and seek the medical treatment they need.a
