The release of the famous cases. like Shcharansky and Essas. is a welcome and heartwarming development. In addition. prominent releases offer the Soviets good public relations. The fact remains. however. that thousands of Jews in the Soviet Union continue to be harased for expressing their desire to emigrate. The Meimans are such a couplc. They are not terribly wellknown. They simply want to go to Israel to live out their remaining days. Speaking out against the injustice which the Soviets perpetrate is a must when the injustice is directed at a couple like the Meimans who are elderly. sick and retired. I strongly urge the Soviet Government to allow the Meimans to emigrate to Israel.e
