I believe this to be true. One case that everyone should be aware of is that of Ida Nudel. a former prisoner of conscience and current refusenik. Nudel was convicted in 1978 on charges of malicious hooliganism and was sentenced to internal exile in Siberia for hanging a sign on her balcony saying "KGB. give me my visa." She was released in 1982 and now lives in Moscow. She has applied for. and so far has been refused. an exit visa to emigrate to Israel. I have worn an Ida Nudel bracelet since 1980. and I will continue to wear it until Ida Nudel is allowed to leave the Soviet Union for the freedom of Israel. I would also like to bring to your attention the case of Marina Furman. who is being harassed and threatened by the KGB for writing a letter that describes Soviet antiSemitism and life in the U.S.S.R. for a Jew and a refusenik.
