Leon Dulzin, chairman of the Jewish Agency and World Zionist Organization Executives, issued on impassioned appeal to “enlightened world opinion” on behalf of imprisoned Soviet Jewish scientist and refusnik Dr. Victor Bruilovsky. Dulzin said that Brailovsky’s imprisonment on a charge of “slandering the state” represented an intensification by Soviet authorities battle against the emigration movement inside the USSR and was intended to serve as a warning to other activists. Brailovsky’s case is to be one of those raised by world Jewish leaders at the Helsinki accords’ review conference in Madrid in an effort to stir Western public opinion regarding the plight of Soviet Prisoners of Conscience.
