The Jewish communities of Argentina, and representatives of youth movements and Zionist parties from all over Latin America will come together in Buenos Aires on May 17 to protest the anti-Jewish and anti-Israel policy of the Soviet Union, and to demand the freedom of emigration for those Jews of the Soviet Union who want to leave, according to a report released today here by the World Jewish Congress. This was announced in Buenos Aires after a meeting of the Argentine and Uruguayan members of the Latin American Jewish Congress. The rally in Buenos Aires will be preceded by the Third Plenary Session of the Latin American Jewish Congress, branch of the World Jewish Congress, scheduled from May 14-15.
