The sad truth is. however. that the Soviet Union has not upheld the human rights provisions of the Helsinki accords. Naum and Inna Meiman. two elderly Soviet citizens. are very close friends of mine. They are being denied emigration privileges to the West. The Meimans are not allowed to practice their religion. their phone has been removed. and they have been followed on more than one occasion. Inna is deathly ill with a malignant carcinoma on her spine. After removing four previous tumors. the Soviet physicians feel there is nothing more they can do for her. Although there is experimental treatment available for Inna in the West. the Soviets still refuse to allow her to emigrate. These are blatant violations of the Helsinki accords. I strongly urge the Soviet Union to allow Naum and Inna Meiman to emigrate to Israel.o MED WEEK
