Freedom of movement is neither guaranteed by law nor respected in practice. Does South Africa do this? Moreover. in 1984 the authorities have further cut back Jewish emigration from the Soviet Union. which had been reduced steadily in recent years. Some officials have made blatantly false statements that all those Jews who wanted to emigrate have already left. These statements coincided with a significant increase in official expressing of antisemitism. led by the "AntiZionist Committee of the Soviet Public." This could mean there is pressure from some quarters to end Jewish emigration completely. Does South Africa do this? Here is what the State Department has to say about the Gulag: A number of political prisoners and common criminals do perish each year in prison and in forced labor camps due to the severe conditions: strenuous physical labor. a semistarvation diet. extreme cold. and lack of medical care.
