President. Inna and Naur Meiman are Soviet Jews who have been refuseniks for over 10 years. Naum has been refused permission to emigrate on the pretext of his being in possession of secret information. When he appealed the decision. Naum produced a character reference from the Institute of Theoretical and Experimental Physics. where he worked as a senior scientist from 1955 until July 1975. This certificate confirmed that he dealt only with abstract mathematics. Naum poses no security threat to the Soviets. It is clear that Naum is being used as an example. a warning to deter others from applying to emigrate. What adds to this tragic situation is that Naum is 74 years old and his wife. Inna. has cancer. Frankly. the Meimans have very few years left. With their remaining time. they want what every human being is entitled tothe chance to live in freedom. I implore the officials in the Soviet Union to let the Meimans emigrate to Israel.e
