The Soviet Union and the United States will have a unique opportunity to discuss ways to resolve pressing human rights cases. One of the most poignant cases is that of Naum and Inna Meiman. Naum was a renowned scientist until he began his activism in the Helsinki Monitoring Group. a watchdog organization in the Soviet Union that documents human rights violations there. Naum applied to emigrate to Israel over 10 years ago and was joined by Inna in that application when the two were married 5 years ago. Since that time. the Meimans have suffered many hardships. including the involuntary retirement which the Soviets forced upon Naum. Inna is now critically ill with cancer.
