1981-1984: INTERNATIONAL CAMPAIGN - PROFESSOR J.L. MASSERA (URUGUAY) 1984 - : INTERNATIONAL CAMPAIGN - ORLOV AND SHCHARANSKY (USSR) 39 Elm Ridge Drive Toronto, Ontario, Canada, M6B 1A2 Telephone (416) 782-8087 BULLETIN of October-November 1985 These International Campaigns are directed by: Henri Cartan, Israel Halper f Membre de 1'Academie des Sciences de l'lnstftut de France Foreign Member The Royal Society, Foreign Associate National Academy Sc.jelrces, de l'llnion mathematfque fnternationale Ancfe;/ president n, Fellow of The Royal Society of Canadq Secretary of The Canadian Comnfttee of Scientists and Scholars Former Vice-Pns fdent of The Canadian Mathematical Society A statement published in Science, vol. 229, by the American physicist Thomas H. St'i correctly expresses what is in the minds of millions of persons: We are driven on each side by existing fear and mistrust. From International Campafon-Orloveand Shcharansky to Hfkhafl S. Gorbachev, Secretary-General of the Comnunist Party of the USSR, September 18, 1985: We can understand that the Soviet people fear that the military fdrces that oppose them might some day fall under the control of a fascist madman. You should under- stand that we fear that the armed might of the USSR may come under the control of the KGB. The in'humane treatment by the KG8 of Soviet persons does such harm to the interests of the USSR that it seem3 that the KG8 is more concerned to strengthen its hold on others in the USSR than it 1.s concerned with the best interests of the USSR. We are not among those who want to use the issue of human rights as a trick for political purposes. Mr. Vsevotod Soffnsky, the Head of your delegation to the recent Ottawa Conference on Human Rights, published in our newspaper, the Globe and Mail of August 7, 1985, the statement that, in the Soviet Union's view, human rights are a significant element of relations between states. Until this statement is matched by a change in the way persons are treated in the USSR by the KGB, we are left to feet that our concern to achieve a serious basis of mutual trust is treated by the USSR with contempt. The International Campaign for Orlov and Shcharansky focuses the attention of persons and organizations in many countries on this basic issue: will the USSR, in its own best interests, recognize that it can only obtain the trust of others by humane treatment of people? From Article 3 of the Universal Declaration Of Human Rights: All human beings are entitled to freedom from torture or cruel, inhuman or degrading punishment. 2. The Soviet authorities make it almost impossible to get reliable news concerning Orlov and Shcharansky. Both continue to be in dangerously poor health and their release is urgent. Helsinki Watch, New York sumnarites: %P= Born August 13, 1924. Physicist. Arrested February 10, exi1;. sentenced to seven years strict regime labor camp and five years Currently in Siberia, in Kobyay, Yakutskaya ASSR 678310, USSR. Chronic cystitis, nephritis, other chronic illnesses. Anatoly Shcharansky. Born January 20, 1948. Mathematician and cybernetictst. Arrested March 15, 1977, sentenced to three years prison and ten years strict regime labor camp. Vision deterioration, headaches, heart ailments. Dr. Yury Orlov and Dr. Anatoly Shcharansky, both adopted as prisoners of conscience by Amnesty International, are key cases (among many, ma5 others) of persons brutally punished for speaking out for freedom of thought and conscience. This Campaign will continue to gather more and more supporters in many countries. We will persist with publicity and regular Bulletins in several languages until Orlov and Shcharansky are free and allowed to emigrate. ORLOV TRUST FUND In several countries, including Canada, scientists seek to arrange that permanent residencr be offered to the ORLOVS, when they are released (Canada has already offered permanent residence to Anatoly Shcharansky). Organizations and indivfduals are invited to send donations payable to: ORLOV TRUST FUND, sent to Canadian Committee of Scientists and Scholars, 39 Elm Ridge Drive, Toronto, Ontario, M6B lA2 Canada. The Fund will be used exclusively to help rehabilitate Dr. and Mrs. Yury Orlov wherever they reside, when released by the USSR. If it turns out finally that the Fund cannot be used on behalf of the Orlovs, the donations will be returned to the donors. YOU CAN HELP For Orlov and Shcharansky, this is a critical time.' We appeal to you: write urgently to Mikahail S. Gorbachev, Secretary-General of The Communist Party, Kremlin, Moscow, USSR, and express your determination to persist with this Campaign until Orlov and Shcharansky are free. Please help this Campaign by distributing copies of this Bulletin to friends and colleagues. We are building a mighty voice of world-wide public opinion, which with dignity, without violence, simply by persistence, will effectively oppose the plague of terrorism and torture and oppression which is the horror of our time. contribution, payable to: If you can, please make a financial ICOS (abbreviation for International Campaign - Orlov,.and Shcharan. to help pay expenses of postage and printing. 3.

When Orlov and Shcharansky are free, but only when they are free, we will launch an International Campaign for the actress Carmen Eueno, who was abducted and disappeared in Chile in November 1974. Her case symbolizes the horrible practice by which official governments use unofficial agents to murder persons not in favour. May we list you as a supporter of the Campaign for Carmen Eueno, when it begins?
