The petition to secure the release of Jehuda Rubenfeld and Ghidu Davidescu was denied last week by a lower Federal court. Pointing out that the youths’ present imprisonment follows upon the heels of four years in Nazi concentration camps, the Congress announced that it will attempt to secure their release on bail pending the appeal.
