Since July 25. 1984. four Hebrew teachers have been arrested by the KGB on trumped up charges. These four men have been harrassed. their homes unjustly searched. and have been illegally detained. This is but one example of a situation that unfortunately is growing worse. The number of refuseniks and prisoners of conscience continues to grow. Soviet Jews who openly petition the Government to emigrate become open targets for harassment. denial of job opportunities. unwarranted searches and detainment. and. in some cases. imprisonment. The fact is that the Soviet Government is blatantly disregarding even the most basic human rights. Furthermore. they are in violation of the Helsinki Accords of 1975.
