Refusenik Zunshain placed
in solitary following trial
New York (JTA) — Riga
physicist Zakhar Zunshain,
who was recently sentenced
at a KGB-packed trial to
three years in prison for "de-
. faming the Soviet state,"
was placed in solitary con-
finement, according to the
National Conference on
Soviet Jews (NCSJ).
The NCSJ also noted that
more than 100 Jews from
Riga and Leningrad de-
clared successive hunger
strikes to publicize Zuns-
hain's plight, and described
the events as a "dramatic
and unprecedented show of
support."
The NCSJ reported that a
Jewish activist in Lenin-
grad, Yakov Gorodetsky,
who had gone to Riga for the
trial and Zunshain's wife,
Tatyana, were openly fol-
lowed by security police as
they traveled back from
Riga to Leningrad last
week. A close friend,
Gorodetsky was barred
from entering the trial.
In a joint statement, re-
leased by Judge Marvin
Frankel, chairman of the
National Lawyers Commit-
tee for Soviet Jewry, and
NCSJ chairman Morris Ab-
ram, the attorneys said,
"This is the first time a man
has been tried for pursuing
a legal course of action.
"Zakhar Zunshain was
jailed because he made for-
mal, legal appeals to the
authorities for permission
to emigrate to Israel, and
protesting the refusal to
him. To try such a man for
'defaming the Soviet state'
sets a dangerous precedent
that puts the hundreds of
thousands of Jews who have
initiated the arduous emig-
ration process in jeopardy."
An NCSJ spokesperson
said the hunger strikes
began on July 10 in Riga
and Leningrad and are
scheduled to continue for
more than 100 days. The
source added that the strike
is being conducted on a kind
of baton basis, in which Bev-
- eral Soviet Jews in Riga and
Leningrad strike for two or
three days and then another
group takes up the strike for
a few days until all of the
more than 100 protesters
will have participated.
In a related development,
four liberal Democratic
Congressmen met wih Vla-
dimir Lomovtsev, the Soviet
Deputy Consul General in
San ,Francisco to stress to
him that Soviet anti-
Semitism and the clamp-
down in emigration of Jews
from the USSR is a
"roadblock" to better rela-
tions between the United
States and the Soviet
Union.
Rep. Barbara Boxer of
California, who led the
group, was accompanied by
Reps. Sander 'Levin of
Michigan, Thomas Fog-
lietta of Pennsylvania and
Gerald Kleckza of Wiscon-
sin. While the Con-
gresspeople•were inside the
Soviet Consulate, some 50
persons demonstrated out-
side in a rally sponsored by
the Bay Area Council. of
Soviet Jews and the Union
of Councils on Soviet Jewry.
The demonstrators included
some delegates to the
Democratic national con-
vention and participants of
the Bay Area group's daily
vigil in front of the consu-
late.
Meanwhile, the Center .
for Russian Jewry and the
Student Struggle for Soviet
Jewry have charged the Re-
agan Administration, with
contravening its stated pol-
icy by renewing for a decade
a trade pact with the Soviet
Union without obtaining
human rights linkage.
"While Andrei Sakharov
and Anatoly Shcharansky
are being monstrously mis-
treated by Russian
authorities, the Adminis-
tration has seen fit to ex-
tend unconditionally for an
additional ten years the
Nixon-Brezhnev trade ac-
cord of 1974," the groups de-
clared.
This pact, entitled "The
Long-Term Agreement to
Facilitate Economic, Indus-
trial and Technical Cooper-
ation," is a general state-
ment of intent on the' ex-
change of non-strategic
goods, know how, processes
and specialists. '
It also was learned that
Soviet dissident Andrei
Sakharov is being held in a
closed ward in the
Semashko Hospital in the
city of Gorki, 250 miles from
Moscow.
Vladimir
Dr.
Yvgenievich Rozhnov of the
Advanced Training Insti-
tute or Doctors at the
Academy of Medical Science
in Moscow, a specialist in
psychotropic medicine and
hypnosis, flies into Gorki
from Moscow every two
days on a specially assigned
plane, according to the
Union of Councils for Soviet
Jews.
It was reported that Dr.
Sakharov is injected reg-
ularly with psychotropic
drugs.
Corrections
In the recent wedding
announcement for Dina-
Catharine and Barry Berk
the name of the brideg-
room's mother should
have read Mrs. Roberta
Hirsch. The Jewish News
regrets the error.

An item in last week's
Jewish News about a
population study in the
Washington, D.C. area,
should have read that an
-estimated 157,000 Jews
reside in the nation's capi-
tal.
