We demand that international agreements and internal laws be observed. In this way. the Soviet government could properly proclaim itself as the real democracy. Those who apply for emigration to Israel are deprived of the simplest human rights. but guilty officials have never been penalized. Having created a feeling of fear. hopelessness and uncertainty. the authorities can break off emigration. and then declare the problem to be a myth. Our patience has ended. No one can feel himself a human being if he must live in eternal fear for his and his relatives destiny. Realizing the great significance of our act. we demand that the Soviet government solve our problem of giving up our Soviet citizenship so we may emigrate. This is the story of the refusenik on whose behalf I speak today. He is one of many. his story must be told.
