Soviet media say that dissident receives permission to emigrate
MOSCOW — Anatoly Koryagin, who spent six years in a labor camp for accusing authorities of sending sane dissidents to mental hospitals, has been granted permission to emigrate. Soviet news media said yesterday.
The two-sentence statement by both the English- and Russian-language service of the official Tass news agency was believed to be the first time the Soviet media have announced a dissident's departure.
"Anatoly Koryagin, who was recently released from detention, has been allowed to leave the USSR, it was confirmed to a Tass correspondent today at the USSR Ministry of Internal Affairs," Tass said.
"Koryagin is leaving for Switzerland for permanent residence," the statement said. It provided no other information.
Dissident sources said that Koryagin would leave Moscow today.
Koryagin, a 48-year-old psychiatrist, was pardoned by the Supreme Soviet in February in a review of dissident cases and released from a labor camp where he had been imprisoned since June 1981.
He had been sentenced to seven years in prison camp and five years in internal exile on charges of anti-Soviet agitation and propaganda, a charge used frequently against dissidents.
Students throw stones at police in Seoul
SEOUL, South Korea — About 700 students hurled firebombs and stones at police yesterday in clashes at Seoul National University after a memorial service for a student who died after police torture, witnesses said.
Protests against the government also were reported at 13 other universities.
Last week there were campus protests almost every day, but intermittent rains this week seemed to cool the situation until yesterday.
Campus sources said at least 6.600 students were involved.
Witnesses said at least five students were taken away and three others injured in a three-hour clash at state-run Seoul National University that followed a memorial marking the 100th day after the death of dissident student Park Chong-chul, who died after police torture on Jan. 14.
A 100th-day rite is an important Buddhist practice in which mourning for a deceased person formally ends.
Across the Country
Geneva missile-reduction talks resume
WASHINGTON — President Reagan said yesterday that further progress in the Geneva missile-reduction talks will not come until the Soviets "respond in detail" to U.S. verification proposals.
But he also said, as the discussions resumed in Geneva, that prospects for an intermediate nuclear force agreement have moved forward.
On Capitol Hill, meanwhile,
House Democratic leaders said
they foresaw a "very big majority"
voting for a pair of nuclear
arms-control provisions opposed
by the White House.
The administration contends
that the proposals would reduce Soviet motivation to make concessions to the United States.
House Speaker Jim Wright, D-Dexas, said backers of the proposals have so much support that opponents might not even fight against the two issues. But Vice President George Bush said he did not think the proposals would be approved by the full Congress.
Meanwhile, in Geneva, the U.S. side said it planned to propose new protocols on anti-cheating measures to be included in an eventual treaty banning such missiles in Europe.
7 die, 21 missing after building collapses
"The chances of finding anyone alive are very minimal." Mayor Thomas Bucci said at a news conference.
BRIDGEPORT, Conn. — A multi-story apartment building under construction collapsed yesterday, killing seven workers injuring a dozen and trapping 21 others under tons of crumbed concrete and twisted steel, the mayor said.
Police superintendent Joseph Walsh estimated that it might take rescue worker a week or more to rubble and find all the victims.
Walsh had said that about 40 workers were thought to be trapped when stacks of concrete flooring and steel beams collapsed at the L'Ambiance Plaza project about 1:30 p.m. Hospitals reported treating 12 injured.
Gunman kills at least eight in Florida
PALM BAY, Fla. - A man armed with high-powered rifles and handguns opened fire at two downtown shopping centers yesterday, killing at least eight people, wounding 11 and holding hostages in a supermarket for several hours before he was arrested, authorities said.
"The man has been arrested," police Lt. Candice Leek said shortly after 2 a.m. EST, more than 74 hours after the shooting began. "They chased him down and subdued him. He is being brought to the station right now."
The gunmen had released the last of his three hostages about a half hour earlier, and Leek said then that police had gassed the store and that he said he was going to kill himself.
