Soviet penal code to be revised; 50 dissidents freed from prisons
VIENNA — The justice minister of the Soviet Union's largest republic said yesterday that at least 50 dissidents have been released from Soviet prisons and that the process would continue.
Russian Republic Justice Minister Alexander Sukarev also said that more than two-thirds of the Saudis who were in Iraq revamped this year to humanize it.
"A group of prisoners sent a request for pardon to the Supreme Soviet, and they pledged to follow Soviet laws, so the Supreme Soviet made the step," Sukarev said at the Vienna follow-up Conference on European Security and Cooperation.
"I cannot give you the names but . . . this process will go on, not only for these people but for other defendants," he said.
Soviet dissident Andrei Sakharov said Sunday he was told by Soviet authorities that at least 43 dissidents have been released under a Feb. 2 decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet.
Sukarev made it clear there is little prospect that Sakharov, the Soviet physicist and Nobel Peace laureate, would ever be allowed out of the Soviet Union because of his access to state secrets such as the Soviet hydrogen bomb.

Liberace had AIDS, autopsy report says
INDIO, Calif. — Liberace died of a disease caused by AIDS, the Riverside County coroner said yesterday, in a report of the entertainer's autopsy results.
Coroner Raymond Carrillo said that an opportunistic infection triggered by AIDS killed Liberace,67, who died Wednesday in his Palm Springs, Calif., home.
Ronald Daniels, a physician who treated Liberaca, reported the cause of death as cardiac arrest because of heart failure brought on by subacute encephalopathy. That means his heart stopped because of a gradual loss of the heart's ability to pump, brought on by a chronic problem in the brain.
Four protesters arrested at 'Oprah' show
CUMMING, Ga. — The teev.
Hosea Williams and at least three other civil demonstrators were arrested yesterday as they picked a television talk show featuring residents of Forsyth County, which has no black residents.
Oprah Wintrey, a black talk show hostess from Chicago, brought her program to the north Georgia county to find out "why this community has not allowed black people to live here since 1912."
Williams, who had vowed to protest because Winfrey refused to have blacks participate in the program, was arrested outside the restaurant where the show was taking place.
Also arrested were C.T. Vivian, another civil rights activist from Atlanta; Williams' daughter, Elizabeth Ombiliani; and at least one other person. They were placed in a Forsyth County Sheriff's Department van and were taken to the county jail.
