During their meeting with me they delivered a thoughtful and serious appeal for the release of Dr. Vladimir Dashevsky. a worldrenowned astrophysicist. and the father of Irena CaraIvanov. In very warm and moving terms. these young people. who had experienced life in the Soviet Union on a daytoday basis. provided me with a very real example of how the Soviet system continues to make a mockery of human rights in its treatment of Jewish people seeking to emigrate. In Dr. Dashevskys situation. we are offered in human terms. an illustration of how the Soviet bureaucratic machine relentlessly takes whatever steps it deems necessary to frustrate and prevent a Jewish citizen from exercising a fundamental human rightthe right to freedom of movement.
