NEW YORK (WNS)-All nine Jewish defendants in the second Leningrad trial were found guilty on charges ranging from anti-Soviet activities to treason and received sentences rangmg from i tOAlO years at hard labor in 'labor camps. The verdict and sentences were denouticed by Jewish leaders in Israel and the U.S.
In Israel, Foreign Minister Abba Eban called the sen¬ tence . "a shocking miscarriage of justice and distortion of truth." Im¬ migrant Absorption Minister Natan Peled told the Soviet Jewish immigrants assembled at the Western Wall, "It was a cowardly trial. The strength of the Jewish people in the Soviet Union will endure. The Soviet Union will not succeed in its designs." Dr. William Wexlor, chahrman of the Conferoice of Presidents of
Major American Jewish Organizations, in an' in¬ terview aired, over the Israeli radio said that American Jewry would redouble its efforts to help Soviet Jews. "Rest assured that we are going to do everything we can," he said.
In New York, Jewish leaders appealed to President Nixon, the Uiiited Nations and free peoples and their goy.ernments everywhere to protest this "latest outrage against Soviet Jews."
Philip E. Hoffman, president of the American Jewish Committee, appealed to President Nixon and the UN "and all others con¬ cerned with the protection of the basic rights of in¬ dividuals and minority groups to act immediately against this latest outrage."
