Speaker. we cannot allow this to happen. If we do not continue to remember these individuals. fight for them and rally for them. who will? With this in mind I would like to mention the plight of three prominent refusniks whose plight should be made know to the American public. Josif Berenshteinapplied for permission to emigrate to Israel because he is Jewish but has been repeatedly harassed and intimidated by the KGB authorities. In fact Josifs family was warned that his family may face criminal charges if they continue their efforts to emigrate. More recently Mr. Berenshtein was arrested and sentenced to 4 years in prison.
