President. despite claims of reform. the Soviet Government continues to violate basic aspects of human rights. This is extremely alarming in the case of Soviet cancer patients. Numerous citizens who suffer from cancer are refused permission to receive treatment in the West that could save their lives. Unfortunately. this was the fate of Inna Meiman. As you may know. Inna was a Soviet cancer patient who had applied to emigrate to the United States where appropriate treatment was available. She was not allowed to emigrate until her illness had reached a critical stage. Naur Meiman. Innas husband. was not permitted to accompany his wife to offer moral support or comfort during this difficult period.
