A Soviet man who has been seeking to emigrate for nearly nine years was released from a psychiatric hospital, where he was taken over the weekend after protesting his son’s confinement in a labor camp, his daughter, Ludmilla, told reporters. Serafim Yevsyukov was in “reasonable health” after receiving two forced injections of drugs at the Moscow clinic, she said. He was held for six months in a psychiatric hospital last year after protesting the detention of his son, also named Serafim, who is serving his second labor camp term for refusing military service.
