New Russian law will require foreigners to get HIV test
Residents fear unsanitary clinics and HIV ignorance
The Associated Press
MOSCOW — Travelers going to Russia for more than 90 days will have to prove they don't have HIV, under a law signed yesterday by President Boris Yeltsin. Foreign residents who test positive would be deported.
The measure, which takes effect Aug. I, also requires mandatory HIV tests for prison inmates and some Russian workers.
Still, the measure was equally baffling for Russians because it did not say which Russian enterprises will require AIDS tests of their employees, or what would happen to those employees, or to prison inmates, if they tested positive.
Although the new law appears drastic, it makes no provision for carrying out AIDS tests, prompting fear and frustration among the thousands of foreigners who live in the Russian capital.
One American said the new law could reduce the number of foreigners who come to work in Russia.
Roshchupkin thought the law would be applied selectively, to deter refugees and other visitors whom the Russian government already doesn't like.
"It's going to be a bureaucratic nightmare," said Kevin Gardner, an adviser on AIDS to the World Health Organization.
The bill was approved by parliament in February with little opposition. Yeltsin vetoed an earlier version that would have required even short-term visitors to prove they didn't have HIV, the virus that causes AIDS.
Officially, 890 people have tested positive for HIV in Russia, but experts believe the actual number is much higher.
"Some people may just decide it's too much trouble to come to a country that makes things so difficult," said Renny Hart of the Russian-American Press and Information Center in Moscow. "It's such a shame."
bers of foreigners who would be covered by Soviet-era legislation that required mandatory testing for some foreign residents, notably African students. About 400 foreigners infected with HIV have been deported since the old law took effect in 1990.
Valery Kulikov, a spokesman for the Foreign Ministry — which issues visas to foreign correspondents — said responsibility for testing foreign residents falls under UPDK, the state agency responsible for dealing with foreigners.
UPDK officials were unfamiliar with the law. An agency representative said implementing it would be overwhelming.
bly accept test results from about a dozen foreign-run clinics, including the AMC, in Russia.
Russian medical clinics are notoriously unsanitary and most lack disposable syringes. Many foreigners are afraid of catching the HIV virus, hepatitis, or other diseases if they had to be tested in Russian clinics.
the new law expands the num-
"There is just no way to implement such a law," said Gennady Roshchupkin, a representative for Russian AIDS Relief. "They know they can't possibly check every single foreigner. They couldn't afford to."
AIDS awareness in Russia is still a novel concept. Few doctors are familiar with the most effective prevention and treatment methods.
However, Carol Metzger, director of medical operations at the American Medical Center in Moscow, said the government would proba-
Some 43 nations around the world require some form of AIDS testing for foreigners, according to the U.S. State Department, but rules vary widely.
Under U.S. law, visitors don't have to take HIV tests before entering the country, but must say on their visa application form whether they are HIV-positive. If they are, they must apply for a special waiver.
The U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service has the authority to deport anyone infected with the virus.
Muslims cry 'revenge' against Jews
Militant group blames Israel for bombing
The Associated Press
GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip — Shouting "revenge, revenge," more than 10.000 supporters of the Muslim militant group Hamas poured into the streets yesterday after a deadly blast ripped apart a secret Hamas bomb factory.
Hamas leaders blamed Israel and Yasser Arafat's PLO government for the explosion Sunday that killed six people, including Kamal Kahil, a senior commander of Hamas' military wing.
They also threatened to retaliate with new attacks on Israel.
Hamas is the leading Palestinian opponent of the Israel-PLO self-rule accord.
"Thousands of people came today to tell Israel that the people have only one option, and that is the holy struggle until Palestine is liberated," Sheik Ahmed Bahar of Hamas said during a memorial procession for those killed.
Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin said it was likely Hamas would try to stage new attacks. "It
Kahil, 34, was on Israel's most wanted list for plotting and carrying out attacks, including a December 1993 ambush in which an Israeli lieutenant colonel was killed in Gaza. Israeli newspapers said yesterday that Kahil was one of Hamas' top bomb experts.
cannot be ruled out that, in order to give a boost to their prestige, they will attempt attacks," Rabin said.
In Gaza City's Sheikh Radwan neighborhood, site of the bomb factory, angry slogans were sprayed on walls yesterday.
Kahil's brother, Jamal, bristled at Palestinian police claims that Kahil died while preparing a bomb.
"Our revenge will be cruel and bloody," read one slogan. Another read, "Rabin and the collaborators should not rejoice because Kahil has taught us how to make the Jews swim in their blood."
"He wouldn't have done something that could kill women and children in a crowded area," Jamal Kahil said yesterday.
Hundreds of mourners visited Kahil's home just a few yards from the site of the explosion, drinking the bitter coffee traditionally served during a wake.
But Palestinian police found a
large weapons cache in the gutted bomb factory, including six unexploded bombs, 150 grenades, a 22-pound rocket, two pistols and an Uzi submachine gun.
Kahil, along with the other victims, was buried quietly yesterday morning by Palestinian police who wanted to prevent a large Hamas protest against Arafat's government.
Hamas brought out more than 10,000 supporters for a memorial procession. The marchers fell in line behind empty wood stretcherers normally used to carry bodies to the cemetery.
"Revenge, revenge," yelled some of the demonstrators. Others shouted, "We want to hear the Jews crying."
Hamas has killed dozens of Israelis in suicide bombings, trying to sabotage the agreement.
Both Israel and the Palestinian authority denied Hamas allegations that they had conspired to set off the blast.
"To finger Israel as the responsible party is total nonsense," Israeli Foreign Minister Shimon Peres said. "Instead of killing other people, those gentlemen killed themselves."
