THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS Russian Jew Is Rearrested; UN Asked for Shcharansky Aid NEW YORK (JTA) — Simon Shnirman, a 25- year-old Soviet Jew who served 2 1/2 years in a labor camp for alleged draft eva- sion, was rearrested on Jan. 12 on similar charges, the National Conference on Soviet Jewry reported. If tried and convicted Shnir- man faces up to five years in a labor camp. Shnirman, who resides in the small Ukrainian town of Kerch, applied to emigrate to Israel in 1977, to join his father, but was denied per- mission on the pretext that "he did not work long enough to pay for money in- vested by the state in his studies." When called to serve in the army, he refused on the basis of his pending emigra- tion application. On June 27, 1978, he was tried and sentenced to 21/2 years in a labor camp. During that time he worked with common criminals and was sin- gled out by camp authorities for special punishment — non- delivery of mail and food parcels and denial of vis- its from his mother. After serving his term Shnir- man was released on Nov. 29, 1980.

S.W. Corner of Evergreen and no other refusniks Shnirman and his mother live day-to-day, waiting for permission to join his father and sister in Israel. His application to emi- grate was officially refused just a week before this latest action, the National Con- ference stated. Shnirman is now the second former Jewish prisoner under ar- rest. Iosif Begun, who served two sentences in exile, is being held in a prison in the city of Vla- dimir. Meanwhile, President Yitzhak Navon of Israel re- ported at the conclusion of an 11-day visit to the United States that UN Sec- retary General Javier Perez de Cuellar had assured him that he would do all he can to intervene with the Soviet authorities on behalf of im- prisoned Soviet Jewish ac- tivist Anatoly Shcharansky. The Israel President explained that Shcharansky, who has been on a hunger strike for the past three months, was recently denied a visit from his 77-year-old mother Ida Milgrom who had travelled to the Chis- tipol Prison where he remains interned. Navon said that his re- quest on behalf of Shcharansky, that he re- ceive mail and visits from relatives, was a simple humanitarian request with no political implications. In Paris, Shcharansky's wife appealed to President Francois Mitterrand to intervene "to try and stop in time this tragedy: this mur- der." Avital Shcharansky said that according to the latest reports from Moscow her husband, who has been on a hunger strike since Sept. 27, is rapidly losing his last remaining strength and is now on the verge of death. The French Committee for Anatoly Shcharans- ky's Liberation an- nounced that they have asked to meet Soviet Re- search Minister Vladimir Martchuk who is on an official visit in France. They want to ask him to transmit a message to Soviet Communist Party leader Yuri Andropov calling for the Soviet Jewish refusnik's im- mediate release. Shcharansky is currently serving a 13-year prison sentence on charges of treason and espionage. (In New York, the Stu- dent Struggle for Soviet Jewry and Union of Coun- cils for Soviet Jews reported that the commandant of Chistipol prison told Mrs. Milgrom and her other son, Leonid, that Anatoly was being force fed every three days. Both Mrs. Milgrom and Leonid had received written authorization to visit Anatoly on Jan. 4, the first time in a year. But when they reached the prison, some 500 miles from Moscow, the commandant refused to let them see him, the two Soviet Jewry groups said.) Shcharansky turned 35 on Thursday.
