The National Conference on Soviet Jewry has learned that former Prisoner of Conscience Yuri Vudka has been told by the head of the passport division in Pavlograd that on Nov. 10 he will be allowed to go to Dnepropetrovsk to pick up his exit visa. Released from prison just a few months ago, Vudka has begun a hunger strike to protest the Soviet authorities refusal to issue him an exit visa. Eugene Gold, NCSJ chairman, remarked “We are glad to hear that Vudka will be allowed to emigrate to Israel after so many years in prison.”
