It is truly amazing that the Soviet Government feels it must repress Jewish culture and peace activism in a small segment of its society. How can these individuals constitute such a threat to that Government that they must be confined to labor camps? Are the beliefs they hold or the ideas they espouse so frightening to the Soviet Government and Soviet Communist Party? If so. why not allow these people to emigrate to countries where such beliefs are not only tolerated. but welcomed? It is tragic that the Soviet Government will not accept the challenge of building a society which tolerates dissent. The proliferation of cases such as these only does further damage to relations between the Soviet Union and the West.
