What the Soviet Union will tell you is officially people can practice their religion. But unofficially. we saw that they could not. We also know that they are unable to emigrate. It will take the voices of those of us coming from Western democracies. those of us who participated in this special order to be the voice of the refuseniks who cannot speak here for themselves. the voices of Joseph Behrenstein. the prisoner who you spoke about whose eyes were mutilated in a Soviet prison. now denied his freedom. robbed of his eyesight and denied medical treatment. There are many others whose voices we could speak for.
