 Call to a watching but silent world: Let Vanunu Go! (Vanunu's 20th year and counting. . . 11 in solitary, 7 more allowed contact only with unsympathetic Jewish prisoners, 2 more unfree to leave a hostile Israel - this is the process of attempting to break an indomitable will.) Following the decision by Israel in defiance of the Declaration of Human Rights, to renew the vindictive restrictions on Mordechai Vanunu for another twelve months, (http://www.indymedia.ie/article/75508) Mairead Corrigan Maguire has decided to stay indefinitely in Israel. |

"TO THE GOVERNMENT OF ISRAEL -
Stop mistreating Mordechai Vanunu!
Lift the restrictions imposed on him!
In the past week the Government of Israel has extended for the third year the restrictions it imposed on Mordechai Vanunu when he was released from prison. He is forbidden to leave Israel; may not move freely inside Israel; is forbidden to speak to foreign nationals, 'for fear of causing damage to the security of the State'.
Mordechai Vanunu served the sentence that was imposed on him - 18 years in prison, of which he spent 11 and a half years in complete isolation. He came out of prison wholly committed to the idea of a world without weapons of mass destruction - the same idea he upheld when he was imprisoned. He remains convinced of the rightness of this cause
The element of vengeance by the Israeli Government is plain to see. No-one in their senses believes that Vanunu represents a threat to the security of Israel. He told everything he knew to the Sunday Times in 1986. All the experts in Israel and abroad - except those who speak for the secret services - agree that after 20 years away from the Dimona reactor Vanunu has not a shred of information that could endanger the security of the State.
The restrictions imposed on Mordechai Vanunu violate the basic rights of citizens in a democratic country - the freedom of expression and of movement. These restrictions also conflict with the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and the UN Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.
Mr Prime Minister, the Chiefs of the Security Services of Israel -
Let Mordechai Vanunu leave, to live wherever he chooses. He would like to have a family of his own and to exist as a free man, without Big Brother dominating his existence.
LET MORDECHAI VANUNU GO FREE"
Today is the twentieth anniversary of the nuclear disaster at Chernobyl.
Estimates differ as to the number who will die as a result of the accident The UN's IAEA says 4000, Greenpeace says 93000.
Chernobyl was a much younger plant than Dimona or Selafield.
Mordechai Vanunu's trial will resume in Israel on May 1.
He is charged with having violated the restrictions placed on him 21 times.
