For 6 long years Dr. Sakharov has had to deal with improper medical care. little communication with his family. and inhumane treatment. This resolution is also on behalf of the thousands of Soviet Jews who have been denied emigration from a country which punishes them for their religious beliefs and belittles their values. This is a chance to recognize and remember those who are imprisoned. their families. and so many others who suffer from separation and anxiety for their loved ones who have sought permission to emigrate. Day in and day out the Government of the Soviet Union denies the rights of Jews and others to practice their faith. and subjects them to physical and psychological harassment. beatings. imprisonment. and confinement. This treatment flagrantly violates international obligations set forth in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. and the Helsinki Final Act.
