While recent news about human rightswhether from South Africa or Chilehas been dismal. today I have some good news to announce. A young Soviet Jew. Alexander Yakir. who has been in a labor camp on trumpedup charges of draft evasion was released from prison several weeks ago and has returned to his home in Moscow. Yakir was another socalled refusenik. whose only real offense was to want to emigrate from the Soviet Union. I was only one of many from the United States who pressed the Soviet Government for his release. Now that he is out of prison. the next step is for the granting of emigration visas for Mr. Yakir and his mother and father. In a note.
