Jewish sources in the Soviet Union report that Jewish visa applicant Vladimir Kishlik from Kiev was again beaten up Sunday night by four unidentified persons, and later taken to a hospital. Kishlik, a night watchman at a Kiev boat pier, had suffered at the hands of hooligans some three weeks ago.
Sources also reported that prisoners of Zion at the notorious Perm camps have started a chain of hunger strikes, with each prisoner fasting for one day. They are demanding an improvement of their appalling conditions, as well as the release of all prisoners serving jail terms solely for their desire to go to Israel. Perm prisoners had staged a hunger strike during President Nixon’s visit to Moscow.
