There is no information about repressions for not signing it in communist countries.
I actually have a (weak) source for W.E.B. Du Bois getting charged in the US for distributing it for signing: http://www.snopes.com/politics/quotes/einstein.asp . If the poorly cited article is correct about the entire adult population of the USSR "signing" it, I suspect very few people in the USSR were bothered into actually pulling out a pen. Repressions in communist countries for not signing it would seem a bit exceptional; why bother people with actually signing it if you're going for everyone signing it? Of all the hills to die on, few are going to choose this and this alone; perhaps there were those repressed who had this brought up as a part of things the state didn't like, but I seriously doubt this was the sole crime.--Prosfilaes (talk) 03:15, 7 April 2015 (UTC)Reply
Just pointing out that the W.E.B. Du Bois article presents that as fact that Du Bois signed the Appeal, so you'd probably find better sources there. 24.39.61.178 (talk) 02:16, 14 February 2016 (UTC)Reply
