Keith Braun. is a founder of the Divided Spouse Coalition. and lives in Southfield. Mi. He met and married his Soviet wife Svetlana. while a student in Moscow. They married in August 1984. Svetlana has repeatedly been refused an exit visa. and has continued to receive confusing signals from the Soviets regarding her application. It is imperative that we keep the plight of these couples before the American public and raise the issue during all our contacts with Soviet officials. As Soviet human rights reforms continue to unfold. let us not abandon our efforts on behalf of those who remain prisoners in their own country.
