Leaders Accuse
Foreign Minister
New York (JTA) — Two
American Jewish leaders
have accused the foreign
minister of Syria of
"distorting" the situation of
the 4,000 Jews remaining in
his country.
Foreign Minister Farouk
al-Sharaa's claims, made at
the Madrid peace conference
Nov. 1, that Syrian Jews en-
joy full civil and religious
freedom in that country, do
not conform to the facts,
charged Shoshana Cardin,
chairman of the Conference
of Presidents of Major
American Jewish Organiza-
tions, and Marcos Zalta,
president of the Council for
the Rescue of Syrian Jews.
In a joint statement, they
said that despite Mr.
Sharaa's claim that Syrian
Jews share equal treatment
with all other citizens, in
fact, "unlike other Syrians,
Jews are under constant
surveillance by the secret
police.
"They cannot travel out of
the country as entire
families; some family mem-
bers must be left behind to
insure the return of Jews
permitted to go abroad, and
a large bond must be
posted," they said.
"Freedom of immigration
is forbidden" in violation of
the Universal Declaration of
Human Rights, to which
Syria is a signatory, Ms.
Cardin and Mr. Zalta
pointed out.
"The recent arrest of
several families that sought
to emigrate, and the con-
tinued imprisonment of the
husbands of those families,
along with others previously
charged with the 'crime' of
seeking to leave Syria,
refutes Minister al-Sharaa's
contention," they said.
Regarding religious
freedom in Syria, Ms. Cardin
and Mr. Zalta observed,
"The right to practice re-
ligion does not reduce the
constant fear with which an
individual lives. Restricted
professional opportunities,
denial of jobs, harassment,
fear of arbitrary imprison-
ment — all these have con-
tributed to an atmosphere of
fear, foreboding and anxiety
among the remnants of Jews
living under the oppressive
Syrian regime."
They appealed to Syrian
President Hafez al-Assad to
"demonstrate his commit-
ment to Middle East peace"
by allowing Syrian Jews to
travel freely and unite with
their families in the United
States and other lands.
