Vanunu Must Remain in Israel for Another Year

Israel today extended for another year restrictions barring nuclear whistleblower Mordechai Vanunu from leaving the country, Agence France-Presse reported (see GSN, April 18).

Interior Minister Ophir Pines-Paz believes Vanunu “possesses information from the time that he was employed at Dimona (a nuclear reactor in southern Israel) that he could reveal if he was allowed to leave the country,” the ministry said in a statement (Agence France-Presse, April 19).
