Vanunu avoids jail

This is from the Times. It is costly to be a whistleblower in Israel especially when it comes to their unmentionable nuclear program! Even talking to the press about it is a crime after having served 18 years in jail already. Israel neeedn't worry. Count the number of times Iran's nuclear program is mentioned in the press against that of Israel!


Vanunu avoids jail
The Israeli government has backed down over a threat to imprison Mordechai Vanunu, who served 18 years for revealing its nuclear weapons programme to The Sunday Times and now stands accused of breaching the conditions of his 2004 release by speaking to foreign reporters, writes Peter Hounam.

Vanunu is due in court on Tuesday to challenge a six-month sentence for giving interviews. Avigdor Feldman, his lawyer, said that Vanunu had accepted the proposal of a community service order instead.
