Israeli Nuclear Whistleblower Heads Back to Prison


A Jerusalem Court has sentenced nuclear whistleblower Mordechai Vanunu to six months in jail for violating the terms of his parole. Vanunu, a former technician at Israel’s nuclear plant near the southern town of Dimona, spent 18 years in prison for giving details of the country’s atomic program to British newspaper “Sunday Times” in 1986. Upon his release in 2004, Vanunu was banned from leaving the country and talking to foreigners without approval, because Israeli authorities claimed he could still divulge classified information.
