This action is supposed to be in keeping with General Secretary Gorbachevs new policy of glasnost or openness. Gorbachev makes much of this openness. He leads us to believe that after years of tyranny. Moscow now respects human rights. All I can say is. Mr. Gorbachev. talk is cheap. What I want to see is action. The time for openness is long overdue. Soviet Jews and other minorities have suffered terrible misery and persecution for practicing their religious beliefs or applying to emigrate. For years I have worked to free refuseniks. Several of the cases that I am currently addressing demonstrate the true realities of Gorbachevs openness.
