Another posting on persecuted Christians.  (I mailed this information
to a couple of people - if you've seen it, please "n" past.)

Anna Chertkova is a Russian Baptist.  She was arrested in August 1973
for her Christian activities, and subsequently sentenced to Tashkent
Special Psychiatric Hospital for "rehabilitation."  She's been there
ever since.  (Note to anyone not familiar with Soviet psychiatry -
"Special" psychiatric hospitals are widely recognized as institutions
of torture.  I can refer you to sources if you want documentation.)

Anna's birthday is November 8.  (She'll be 58.)  Send her a birthday
card!  (If you don't know Russian, write in English.  Most Russians
have studied a bit of English, so she'll probably be able to figure
it out.)

Her adress is:				Her mother's address is:

Anna Chertkova				Anastasiya B. Chertkova
700058 Uzbekskaya SSR			480065 g. Alma-Ata
g. Tashkent				ul. Stankevicha 36
uchr. UYa-64/12-1			Soviet Union
Soviet Union

Postage for a normal letter or card is 44 cents.  (If you write 
believers who are being persecuted by their governments, remember not
to say anything that can be construed as political.)
