I just received word today that Naum and Inna Meiman have joined with two other refuseniks in the Soviet Union who are also stricken with cancer to publicly plead for medical treatment. Inna has a form of spinal cancer that is not treatable in the Soviet Union. Inna has. however. been invited by numerous cancer institutes in the West to obtain treatment. Why are the Soviets allowing Inna Meiman to die? It would be such an easy decision to simply allow her to go abroad to receive treatments that she so desperately needs. I implore the Soviets to allow Inna and Naum Meiman permission to emigrate to Israel.e
