PLEASE IMMEDIATELY PROTEST THIS CONTINUED PERSECUTION OF MORDECHAI VANUNU From the U.S. Campaign to Free Mordechai Vanunu The severe restrictions placed on Mordechai Vanunu upon his release from prison April 21, 2004 are a grave injustice which keep Vanunu from truly being free after serving his full 18 year sentence in Ashkelon Prison. The restrictions violate Vanunu's freedom of speech and association, and forbid him from leaving Israel. The March 17 indictments, just a month before Vanunu's restrictions were due to be reviewed, and the renewal of his restrictions on April 12, are a continued outrage. We need to tell Israel to stop punishing him, dismiss these indictments, lift the restrictions and let him go. Please contact the following officials: Prime Minister Ariel Sharon Ms. Tsippi Livni Mr. Gideon Ezra Daniel Ayalon, Ambassador of Israel For those in the U.S., information for Israeli Embassy in D.C.: Daniel Ayalon, Ambassador of Israel Visit http://mfa.gov.il/mfm or http://www.embassyworld.com/embassy/israel1.html Excerpts from Mordechai Vanunu's statement at the Jerusalem press conference, March 16 2005: "I have no more secrets to tell and have not set foot in Dimona for more than 18 years. I have been out of prison, although not free, for one year. Despite the illegal restrictions on my speech, I have again and again spoken out against the use of nuclear weapons anywhere and by any nation. I have given away no sensitive secrets because I have none. I have not acted against the interests of Israel nor do I wish to. I have been investigated by the police again and again, and re-arrested twice, but they have found nothing. I have done nothing but speak for peace and world safety from a nuclear disaster... "I did not seek to harm Israel, but rather to warn of an enormous danger. I do not seek to harm Israel now. I want to work for world peace and the abolition of nuclear weapons. I want the human race to survive."  |
