Lagle Parek and Arvo Pesti. For those who choose to leave their country in search of freedom elsewhere. the path is also a difficult one. Despite the increased number of emigration visas granted by Soviet authorities to its citizens. countless Estonians are still denied permission to leave. Although the case of young Kaisa Randpere. one of the most tragic victims of this inhumane policy. has finally been favorably resolved. many others cry out for attention. And so. as we commemorate Estonian Independence Day. we reaffirm our undying support for the brave men and women who daily risk their personal safety and that of their families to protest the denial of their right to determine their own destiny.
