Let us not be deluded into thinking that Gorbachevs new policy of glasnost is the end to this suffering or that the Soviets are now complying with the Helsinki accords. In February of this year. another Ukrainian. Yosyp Terelia was released from prison as evidence of Mr. Gorbachevs new "openness." He requires immediate medical treatment that cannot be provided in the Soviet Union and has been denied permission to apply for emigration. Today. let us welcome Danylo Shumuk but continue to demand the release of prisoners of conscience and insist on compliance with the human rights provisions of the Helsinki accords by the Soviet Union.
