A strong resolution protesting against the Soviet Union’s discriminations against Russian Jewry was adopted here last night by a capacity audience that filled to overflowing the large auditorium of the Jewish Sports Center. The audience included non-Jews. One of the principal speakers was Ruben Moheno, a member of the Mexican Parliament.
The resolution called on the USSR, among other objectives, to life the restrictions against Jewish culture and religion, and to permit Russian Jews who wish to do so to emigrate to Israel. Among other speakers were Gregorio Shapiro, president of the Jewish Central Committee of Mexico; and Jacob Mondlak, a Zionist-Revisionist leader here who presided.
