Prof. Alan Dershowitz. who was Shcharanskys American attorney. "We must take no more than one moment to celebrate and then get back to the struggle." I rise today to call attention to the tragic plight of the Latinsky family. Iosif and Olga Latinsky. and their 10yearold daughter Anna. have applied for and been denied exit visas numerous times since 1979. Their crime? The Latinsky family wants to exercise two rights guaranteed them by the Helsinki accords: The right to practice freely their religion and the right to emigrate to the country of ther choice. As a result of the Latinskys application to emigrate. Iosef was fired from his Job as an illustrator of childrens books. Olga lost her job as a high school mathematics teacher. and was forced to take another one which pays only 100 rubles a month.
