Report Leningrad
Jewish Leader
Rejected. Charges
PARIS, (JTA)—Gedalia Pe-
chersky, the Leningrad lay, re-.
ligious leader sentenced last
month to 12 years imprison-
ment, rejected charges of espi-
onage and insisted he was a
loyal citizen during his trial, ac-
cording to detailed information
reaching here.
Pechersky was shown photo-
graphs at the trial in which he
was pictured conversing with
members of the Israel Embassy.
Testifying in his own defense,
he said that the photographs
were taken at a formal recep-
tion which he attended in his
capacity as. Jewish community

he replied that he did not

Jew it was mandatory for

for the restoration of Zion.
The trial, which lasted three
days and took place in mid-
October, was not in secret, as
was originally reported, but at-
tendance at the hearings was
restricted.
Sentenced with Pechersky, 60,
were two other lay leaders, N.

who received lighter terms be-
cause of their advanced ages.
The three leaders were ar-
rested on charges of "consort-
ing with foreign agents" and
other alleged treasonable activi-
ties.
