THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS

New York (JTA) — A "Pris-
oner of Apartheid" project
modeled after the Prisoner of
Conscience campaign for
Soviet Jewry has been laun-
ched by the Union of Amer-
ican Hebrew Congregations
(UAHC) through its 800
synagogues to intensify pro-
grams by the Reform Jewish
movement in the national
campaign to end apartheid in
South Africa, it was an-
nounced here last week.
The project will provide
moral and material support
for South African political
prisoners and their families,
according to Albert Vorspan,
senior vice president of the
UAHC and director of its
Commission on Social Action.
Synagogues participating
in the project, which has been
adopted by the Free South
Africa Movement, will adopt
individual prisoners and lob-
by for their release. Sup-
porters will write regularly to
their adopted political
prisoners and families and
publicize their efforts to bring
national and international
pressure on their behalf.
The UAHC's anti-apartheid
campaign is being carried out
in cooperation with other
religious groups, including
the Interfaith Center for Cor-
porate Responsibility and
Clergy and Laity Concerned.
Among these efforts in
which the UAHC is cooperat-
ing are anti-apartheid
strategies that seek to put
economic pressure on Amer-
ican corporations to withdraw
from South Africa such as
"no-buy" campaigns to boy-
cott stores that sell South
African merchandise, - the
targeting of corporations and
banks with substantial in-
vestment in South Africa and
support of divestment pro-
grams on the local, state anci.
federal level.

LONDON (JTA) — Saudi
Arabia gave the PLO $28.5
million earlier this month,
the World Jewish Congress
reported. Announcement of
the transfer of the funds were
made in a statement from the
Saudi Press Agency in
Riyadh, monitored by WJC
sources.
Rafiq Al-Natshah, the PLO
representative in Riyadh,
said that the sum represents
Saudi Arabia's annual con-
tribution to the PLO and was
in accordance with the reso-
lution of the Baghdad Arab
summit held in 1979. Nat-
shah said, "More than any
other state Saudi Arabia has
fulfilled its commitment to
support the PLO regularly
and consistently, not only fi-
nancially but also politically
and socially."
