Nuclear whistleblower Mordechai Vanunu (click here) was arrested on Thursday morning, likely due to the interview he gave Channel 2 last Friday. He will be brought in front of a judge later on Thursday.
He was arrested by the Central Unit of the Jerusalem Police, in coordination with the Shin Bet, under whose strict surveillance he has been his release from prison in 2004.
As part of the conditions of his parole, he was not allowed to leave Israel for a year, required to report his movements, barred from coming near the Palestinian Authority, and more.
Adv. Yemima Abramovich, Vanunu's defense attorney, said that the interview was not a breach of his parole.
"He is allowed to talk to Israeli journalists," she said. "The interview was approved by the military censor."
"I've been Mordechai Vanunu's lawyer for many years," she added. "He is out of prison, but isn't really free. It's impossible for him to live a normal life."
Vanunu denounced Shin Bet and Mossad for exacting personal revenge at him...
Israel always denies a nuclear program. Ehud Olmert once disclosed a program in an interview. (click here)
Olmert's life was never the same either. I am sure the arrest was related to the USA vote.
The IAEA knows about Israel's program. It isn't as though there isn't a regulatory agency involved. I would not exactly call it a secret.
On 7 April 2010 the Director General (click here) sent letters to the Governments of all Member States of the Agency requesting them to inform him of any views that they might have with respect to meeting the objectives of GC(53)/RES/174 . The 42 replies from Governments and the High Representative of the European Union, on behalf of the EU, received to date, are reproduced in Annex 2 to this report 5....
I found this report on the internet. It isn't like I am hacking into Israel's top secret documents. What is the problem that this man can't live a life without harassment?
The Supreme Leader is talking 'junk' to his people in that Israel is going to be gone from the Middle East in 25 years. This is a man already 79 years old and he thinks he has influence in Iran in 25 years. It's nonsense. Israel should not be so paranoid.
Israel is embarrassing itself and it's allies.
