Israeli Police Re-Arrest Mordechai Vanunu

HeadlineDec 29, 2009

Jerusalem police arrested nuclear whistleblower Mordechai Vanunu on Monday on suspicion he violated his parole orders. Vanunu was released from prison in 2004 after serving an eighteen-year sentence for revealing details of Israel’s nuclear weapons program. Israeli police accused Vanunu of meeting with foreigners. Vanunu’s lawyer said Vanunu was arrested because he has a Norwegian girlfriend, whom police have already interrogated.
