| Nine years ago , Mordechai Vanunu was released from Ashkelon prison in Israel. He had served the full 18 years of his sentence – including over 11 years in solitary confinement – for blowing the whistle on Israel's secret possession and manufacture of nuclear weapons. But he is still not free: during these past nine years he has continued to be imprisoned in Israel by draconian restrictions which prevent him from leaving the country – restrictions which also limit his freedom of speech and movement within Israel. He has been subjected to harassment and intimidation by the Israeli authorities, including a further period of imprisonment for breaching his restrictions by talking to foreigners. So Mordechai has now suffered 27 years' loss of freedom for his service to the truth. These restrictions must be lifted so he can at last be free.
