As citizens of this great country. we are fortunate indeed that the Founding Fathers had the foresight to embrace and protect the principle of religious freedom within the Constitution. The refusenik I have adopted. Aron Bukhman. does not enjoy such liberty and endures constant harassment. along with other members of his family. because of their desire to emigrate and practice their religion freely and openly. He was denied permission to emigrate on the pretext that his military service. which ended over 15 years ago. made him privy to sensitive military information. Such misrepresentations of fact are merely disguises for the true reasons behind such responses. primarily the intention of the Soviet Government to repress religious conviction and independence among refuseniks such as Aron Bukhman. Andrei Sakharov. and countless others.
