Freedom for Soviet political prisoners, Helmut Kohl says
MUSCOW — The Soviet Union will release all people regarded in the West as political prisoners by the end of the year, Chancellor Helmut Kohl of West Germany said yesterday after talks with President Mikhail S. Gorbachev.
The Associated Press
Estimate of jailed citizens varies with human rights groups
Past Kremlin human rights practices have included imprisonment of Communist Policy party dissenters.
However, Foreign Ministry spokesman Gennady I. Gerasimov refused to confirm or deny that a release of political prisoners was imminent.
He told reporters there are about two dozen such prisoners. Estimates from human rights groups abroad vary from 150 to more than 500.
Gerasimov said the fate of the prisoners was not on the agenda of the Soviet West German negotiations that day.
Bois's announcement was welcomed by Soviet human rights activist Dreiwand A. Diksakar, the Reagan administration and Amnesty International. But a leader of a group opposing migration of Soviet Jews said he remained skeptical.
"Certainly we await the release of all of them
(prisoners) and their rehabilitation," said Sakharov, the 1975 Nobel. Peace laureate.
in the past three days, Kohl held 10 hours of talks with Gorbachev and also met with other top Kremlin officials. Kohl would not say whether the promise came from Gorbachev, only that it was made during the talks.
Asked how many people may be freed, Kohl's foreign minister, Hans-Dietrich Genscher, said: "We are not in a position to give final figures."
Neither Kohl nor Genscher identified prisoners who might be released. It was not clear how many Soviets classified in the West as political prisoners might be freed, since some have been sentenced on criminal charges, including espionage.
Amnesty International, the London-based human rights group, said it knew of 150 Soviets "imprisoned solely for the non-violent exercise of their fundamental human rights." It estimated their number at 10,000 a few
Amnesty's list includes about 30 religious believers, 30 conscientious objectors to military service, and about 20 people held for anti-Soviet propaganda and other offenses, said spokesman Carline Windall.

BERLIN — East Germany has imprisoned 1,800 political prisoners in the past 12 months, a West Watchdog group said yesterday.
The Working Group August 13, which keeps tabs on trends in East Germany, also said that of those imprisoned "600 had been released to resettle in West Germany."
The group is named after the date in 1961 when construction of the Berlin Wall began.
The report also said that 750,000 East Germans have applied to leave the country for West Germany. So far this year, 20,000 people had been permitted to resettle in the West, it said.
Soviet defectors appeal expulsion from Sweden
The Associated Press
STOCKHOLM, Sweden — Sweden denied asylum to 10 Soviet defectors on the grounds that political reforms in the Soviet Union made it unlikely they would be punished when they returned home, officials said yesterday.
All 10 were ordered to leave Sweden earlier this year and have appealed the decision by the Board of Immigration, said Mikael Broman, a member of the government agency. The defectors will remain in Sweden pending their appeals.
Sweden once routinely let Soviet defectors stay in Sweden, assuming they could be in danger of reprisal if they were forced to return.
Many Souls seeking asylum left their homeland legally with travel permits and refused to return. Others stared during escapes, like the farm hand who stole a crop duster last year and crashed the plane into the Baltic Sea near the Swedish island of Gotland.
Although Swedish officials refused to discuss the cases of the 10 Soviets, Broman said the policy toward Soviet detectors was changed in the spring.
Because of reforms launched by Soviet President Mikhail S. Gorbachev, Broman said, Soviet citizens are not technically qualify as political refugees.
"The board has changed its position due to the developments in the Soviet Union." Broman said, referrer for the state's policy of glassem, or openness.
He said some people who left the Soviet Union had returned for visits without incident, indicating a more relaxed attitude by the Soviet author-
Bengt Ranland, an immigration official, said asylum is still granted in cases where the traveler has been unimplemented for overstaying his visa.
R兰andal said the number of Soviet defectors jumped from 31 in 1986 to 73 last year and is expected to reach 120 by the end of this year. The number of Soviet authorities is letting more people travel abroad:
Asylum also is extended to dissidents and political prisoners from the Soviet Baltic states who are expelled by authorities, he said.
