Court Orders Vanunu to Remain in Israel

HeadlineJul 26, 2004

Israel’s Supreme Court today rejected a petition by nuclear whistleblower Mordechai Vanunu to be allowed to leave the country. Vanunu was released in April after serving 18 years in jail for disclosing secrets about Israel’s nuclear weapons program. He vowed this morning that he had no more secrets to release and that he should be allowed to leave Israel. Vanunu said “The court proved it does not respect freedom of expression, freedom of travel and other basic rights,” he said.
