Human Rights in the world's newest capitalist country.

May I please through your columns appeal for support for the Soviet dissidents who are campaigning for Human Rights within the Soviet Union. Great moral support is provided by those in the West willing to send them messages of encouragement. However at present there are, here in New Zealand, many who pay lip-service to democratic ideals, but are unwilling to actually do anything to support these champions of democracy such as Dr Andrei Sakharov, the atomic physicist, or men like the biologist Serge Kovalyov, or those anonymous people who produce samizdat material, such as "Chronicle of Current Events."

If any person is willing to write to the Soviet Union, or send them even a card, I shall be delighted to supply addresses if they contact me at P.O. Box 1161. Palmerston North.
