Thus on August 28. they searched Kholmianskys Moscow apartment and planted a German pistol. bullets. and several rolls. of incriminating film. During the search. the secret police violated numerous Soviet laws and would not allow any of Alexanders family to observe them. His family and friends now fear for the worst. I would like to express my outrage at this mockery of the law and of basic human rights. I cannot see what threat Alexander Kholmiansky and his wife pose to the Soviet state. They merely want to practice their faith without harassment. Thus. I strongly urge the Soviet Government to free Alexander and to allow the Kholmianskys to immigrate abroad.*
