This is from Israeli Indymedia. Mordechai Vanunu was imprisoned for over a decade for telling the world the Israel had nuclear weapons. On condition of his release he was ordered not to do interviews with the foriegn media. Defiantly he gave as many interviews as he could. I had attempted to do an interview with him for the Northwest Florida IMC before Hurricane Ivan hit but was unable to do it afterwards. Hopefully Mr Vanunu will be given his freedom back. His arrest was done as the world was focusing on Yasser Arafat's death. His arrest must be opposed. Vanunu is a man of peace and his arrest is a clear violation of Vanunu's human rights.

****************** |
Mordechai Vanunu was arrested this morning in his room at St. George's
Cathedral in East Jerusalem, by a huge police force (about 30 armed
officers).
The pretext for his arrest: Vanunu violated the Draconian
restrictions that were imposed on him when he was released from prison in
April, by giving interviews to foreign media.
The attempt to silence Mordechai Vanunu on this of all days, is an attempt
to bury Israel's secret nuclear arsenal together with Yasser Arafat. While
the world media and attention are focused on the burial of the Palestinian
leader, the Israeli government is attempting to disappear the nuclear
whistleblower, whose only crime is revealing the terrible truth that Israel
is trying to hide: weapons of mass destruction that are concealed from
Israeli citizens and from the world.
Mordechai Vanunu is expected to be brought to court on Friday morning,
November 12. His supporters will demonstrate outside the courthouse. Details
will be sent out later today.
