Recently. after cosigning a statement of intent to stage a peaceful demonstration with three other refusenik families. hospital space miraculously became available. However. because of the aggravated state of the disease. the Soviet prognosis is double amputation. Here in -the West an alternative treatment exists. The Apekins have paid the 2.100 rubles required to renounce their Soviet citizenship. They have consistently filed all required paperwork. Nothing should stand in the way of their emigration. Unfortunately. it is not a fair or even rational system which will decide the fate of this family. it is the arbitrary and unjust Soviet bureaucracy to which they and we must appeal. Currently.
