I have been writing letters both to him and to the Soviet Government on his behalf ever since then. This is all part of the congressional coalition for Soviet Jewrys adoption program. Dr. Begun. a mathmetician by profession. originally applied for an exist visa to emigrate to Israel in 1971. Ever since then. he has been harassed by the Soviet authorities. he has been arrested and exiled three times on charged of very dubious validity. In 1983. he was sentenced to 5 years of internal exile from his home and 7 years in prison for the crime of antiSoviet agitation and propaganda. the harshest sentence possible for this offense.
