Soviet Jews living in the Soviet Union do not have any of these liberties. My good friends. Naur and Inna Meiman. have been attempting to emigrate to Israel for more than a decade. Although the Meimans have not broken any laws. they are treated like common criminals. Their home has been ransacked. their telephone has been disconnected. and they have been followed when leaving their apartment. The Meimans quest to emigrate is crucial. Inna is deathly ill with cancer. After removing four tumors from Innas spine. the Soviets say that there is nothing more they can do. Experimental treatment does exist in the West. but the Soviet Government has not yet granted them a visa to obtain the treatment. I strongly urge the Soviets to permit the Meimans to emigrate to Israel.*
