Vanunu is a former employee at Israel’s nuclear reactor who served 18 years in Israeli prison for leaking details and pictures of Israel’s alleged nuclear weapons program to a British newspaper in 1986. Israel neither confirms nor denies its nuclear capability.
When he was released from prison in 2004, Israel banned him from speaking with foreigners and leaving Israel, among other restrictions.
According to Sunday’s indictment, Vanunu met two Americans at a hotel in east Jerusalem in 2013, moved apartments without notifying Israeli authorities in 2014, and in 2015 told an Israeli TV anchor information related to his work at the nuclear reactor that he is forbidden from speaking about.
In any other country in the world, a traitor like Vanunu would have permanently “disappeared”. Instead of complaining, he should be thankful to the Govt and keep his mouth shut. At a minimum, Israel should lock him up in Solitary, and lose the key.
Vannunu is one very big anti-Israel person and is difficult to deal with.
