Mordechai Vanunu, the Israeli who spoke the truth about nuclear weapons, spent 18 years in prison for doing so. Vanunu spent eleven and a half years in a small cell only 6 x 9 feet, and for thirteen years he endured solitary confinement. After years of cruelty he was released from prison on April 21st of 2004 and has a room now at an Anglican church, St. George Cathedral in East Jerusalem.
Speaking to media, Vanunu again defies restrictions imposed by Israel by speaking to foreigners He has been prohibited from doing so for six months following his release. He also has been ordered not to leave the country for one full year.
Vanunu initially defied the Israel authorities when he revealed to the Sunday Times in London in October of 1986 that the Israeli government was using a reactor provided through the Atoms for Peace program to produce fuel for nuclear weapons. Vanunu said the Israeli arsenal contains 100 to 200 nuclear weapons, including powerful hydrogen bomb and neutron bombs. Neutron bombs are designed to kill people while minimizing damage to buildings.
