I urge the new Government to release Ovsischer and the many others whose only crime is wanting to be free. I have adopted the colonel as part of the effort to obtain his release. We must not cease our efforts to preserve human rights. The Meiman family. Anatoly Scharansky. Simon Levin. Ida Nudel. Natasha Khassina. and the less publicized refuseniks need the free worlds voices to speak for them. I will not silence my voice until every person who wishes to emigrate in granted the permission to do so. At this Easter and Passover season. when hope and freedom are foremost in our minds. we cannot forget those who are prohibited from celebrating their freedom..
