Patrick Henry wrote that "All men are equally entitled to the free exercise of religion. according to the dictates of conscience." The denial of one of the most basic human rights. freedom of religion. is an appalling tenet of Soviet dogma. Countless letters. speeches. and prayers have been offered in behalf of those persecuted in the Soviet Union. Ihese people yearn for the freedom to practice religion as they please. the right to privacy and the right to emigrate. The refusenik community consibts not only of Jews. but individuals from many other religious communities that wish to be free. Congress has attempted to defend the dignity of all individuals in the Soviet Union.
