Resolutions calling on the Soviet Union to provide equality of rights to Soviet Jewry and permission for Jews to emigrate to Israel were adopted here at a study conference on the results of 12 years of struggle in Latin American Jewish communities for the rights of Soviet Jews. The conference was sponsored by the Mexican Committee for the Rights of Soviet Jews under the presidency of Andres Henestrosa, which was attended by leading artists, intellectuals and politicians of Mexico and 20 Latin American countries.
