Mr. President. I once again call your attention. and that of my colleagues. to the plight of Soviet Jewry. Many of us have been active in the crusade for their freedom. many words have been spent on this cause. Yet. so much more is needed. We must tell the world just how desperate their situation has become. Over the last 10 years. Jewish emigration has dropped drastically. Today. it is virtually nonexistent. Imprisonment for petty or fabricated violations is on the rise. Harrassment and torture is widespread. False hopes for freedom are raised then cruelly destroyed. Such is the case of the Berengut family from Baku.
