The New York Conference on Soviet Jewry said today that it would hold a three-day vigil outside the Soviet Mission to the United Nations, beginning tomorrow and ending on the eve of the Fourth of July to demand freedom for Boris Kochubiyevsky, a Soviet-Jewish engineer imprisoned allegedly because he wanted to emigrate to Israel. Rabbi Norman Lamm, chairman of the conference which represents the New York affiliates of 23 national Jewish organizations, said “the vigil, just prior to Independence Day, and its motif of freedom, will highlight the plight of young Kochubiyevsky and the affront to fundamental human rights perpetrated by his imprisonment.”
