Anne Pollard Plans
Another Sentence Appeal

MERRIE EISENSTADT

Special to The Jewish News

A

nne Henderson-Pol-
lard, the 27-year-old
wife of convicted spy
Jonathan Jay Pollard, will ap-
peal the recent denial of her
request to have her five-year
sentence reduced, according
to a family member.
Henderson-Pollard had ask-
ed that her sentence be
shortened to the amount of
time she has already served
since March so that she could
seek treatment for her rare
and painful stomach disorder.
Meanwhile, Henderson-Pol-
lard is back in prison at the
Lexington, Ky., Federal Cor-
rections Institution after
undergoing a week of testing
at the Mayo Medical Clinic in
Rochester, Minnesota.
While the Mayo doctors
acknowledged that Hender-
son-Pollard is in pain, they
did not recommend treatment
and disputed the validity of
her condition — biliary
dyskinesia — as a bona fide
medical disease, according to
her sister-in-law Carol
Pollard.
A spokesman for the Mayo
Clinic declined comment on
Carol Pollard's allegations
and referred all inquiries to
the federal prison authorities.

The latter could not be reach-
ed for comment.
Family members had urged
prison authorities to allow
Henderson-Pollard to see her
own specialist, and said that
they were disappointed that,
instead, she was examined by
physicians unfamiliar with
her disease.
Calling the recent testing a
"ruse" to give the impression
that Henderson-Pollard is re-
ceiving medical treatment
and to discredit her condition.
Carol Pollard characterized
her sister-in-law's return to
the general prison population
as "a punishment for asking
for care that they felt she
didn't deserve!'
Prior to the tests, Hender-
son-Pollard had been housed
at the prison infirmary.
Henderson-Pollard's physi-
cian has said her disease
makes it difficult for her to
digest food. Since her arrest
in November 22, 1985, she
has lost more than 60 pounds.
"She has not gotten any
treatment," Carol Pollard con-
tinued. "She is wasting away.
All you'd have to do is take a
look at her, you'd be hor-
rified."
Officials at the Justice
Department's Bureau of
Prisons in Washington had no
comment on her medical
condition.

Germans Plan Wide War
Crimes Investigation

Bonn (JTA) — Proceedings
have begun against 4,000
suspected war criminals as a
result of information obtained
from the recently opened
United Nations war crimes
archives in New York, the Of-
fice for the Prosecution of
Nazi War Criminals in Lud-
wigsburg announced last
week.
But it is unlikely at this
late date that more than a
few of the suspects will be
brought to trial and, if so, con-
victed. A spokesperson for the
Ludwigsburg office said that
the UN files came much too
late for effective investiga-
tions and proceedings that
could result in convictions.
The files, compiled by the
Allied War Crimes Commis-
sion after World War II, con-
tain dossiers on more than
40,000 suspected war crimi-
nals. They were placed in
custody of the UN in 1947
and remained sealed to all
but the governments of UN
member states. They were
opened last month after a

year-long campaign by Israel
to make the files available.
The Ludwigsburg spokes-
person said the United Na-
tions "told us for years that
they could not release the
files for legal or political
reasons and that has made
our job much more difficult
and certainly contributed to
certain disappointments."
Nevertheless, after receiv-
ing the files, the Ludwigsburg
office added 10 experienced
prosecutors to its staff and
opened proceedings.
Most of the files refer to per-
sons who are either deceased,
missing or already convicted.
Of the 4,000 who were traced,
most are aged and may be too
sick to be put on trial, the
spokesperson said.
Moreover, witnesses are
either dead or too old and ill
to stand the emotional and
physical hardships of giving
testimony. Under the cir-
cumstances, it would be ex-
tremely difficult, if not im-
possible, to obtain convic-
tions, the spokesperson said.
