Soviet peace activist freed
NZPA-Reuter Moscow Natalya Atulyenok, a member of an unofficial Moscow peace group, detained in a psychiatric hospital two weeks ago, was released yesterday. She said that doctors had told her she was “normal” but the K.G.B. State security police had warned her that if she continued her activities in the “Group of Trust” she would face trouble. Another member of the group, Olga Kabanov, was
being kept in the hospital for an unspecified time after doctors had declared her “not normal,” Ms Atulyenok said. Ms Kabanova was being treated with strong drugs and was in poor condition, she added. The group, which claims a nucleus of 11 members and a thousand supporters in Moscow, was founded in 1982 to campaign for EastWest nuclear disarmament. Soviet authorities have tried to halt its activities, bringing several members to trial and forcing three others to leave the country.
