Inna Meiman was a Soviet cancer patient who was denied permission to receive treatment in the West. When she was finally released to the United States. it was too late. Her cancer had progressed too far. and Inna passed away in February. Not only was Naum forced to stay in the Soviet Union while Inna went through this difficult period alone. but he was cruelly denied permission to attend her funeral. Naum is in his seventies. Most likely. he does not have many years left to live. He deserves an opportunity to live the final years of his life in happiness. I implore the Soviet Union to grant Naum Meiman and exit visa immediately.e
