Friday 21st April 2-3pm Israeli Embassy Dublin

A Vigil in support of Vanunu will be held on Friday 21st April 2-3pm Israeli Embassy Dublin by a miscellaneous group of people.

Message from Vanunu:
Hi Everybody,
April 21st has arrived and the second year since of my release has ended. The news now is that the Israeli Government has issued a third year order of restrictions. These are the same restrictions not to
leave the country for a third year. Other news is that I decided to leave St. George and move to a rent
house in East Jerusalem among Palestinians, after two years in St. George.
For the third anniversary of my release, I have a small number of visitors coming to Israel, Mairead Maguire and her two friends from Ireland, Nick Eoloff and John and Jeanne Alberts from New York. We are meeting and discussing what we can do to help me receive my full freedom.

The next event will be May 1, the trial against me. We will hear the
judges decision on how he wants to precede with the trial.

I am sending my appreciation to all my friends and supporters. Please
keep following my case and continue your hope of seeing me completely
free, soon.

Best regards,

VMJC.

Message
Stone walls do not a prison make,
Nor iron bars a cage;
Minds innocent and quiet take
That for an hermitage;
If I have freedom in my love,
And in my soul am free,
Angels alone that soar above
Enjoy such liberty.
Richard Lovelace 1618 - 1657

Here we go,

The Anti Israel, politically correct Chomskyites are on a buzz after reading a few chapters of Reflections on Justice and Nationhood .

This man released very important israeli secrets.

"A former technician at Israel's nuclear weapons facility, Mr Vanunu was released from an 18-year prison term two years ago today. Twenty years ago he had revealed details of Israel's secret weapons programme to the Sunday Times. Lured to Italy by an Israeli agent he was then kidnapped and returned to Israel. He spent the first 11 years of his sentence in solitary confinement."

"The poet Benjamin Zephaniah, a supporter of the campaign, said: "Mordechai now represents the struggle for peace, the struggle against nuclear weapons, for a free Palestine, for free speech, and even for the freedom to be free once you have been freed." Mr Vanunu has urged Palestinians to use only non-violent methods of protest."

"Mr Vanunu faces charges in connection with talking to foreign media. He is due to appear in court on May 1 when a judge will rule on his lawyer's application to have all the charges dismissed. Other charges, connected to his movements within Israel, have already been dropped."

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"Mordechai now represents the struggle for peace, the struggle against nuclear weapons\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"

In that case why did Mordechai protest the destruction of Osirak?

I've answered that question twice already, Noel. Why keep on asking in order to take the focus away from the abuse of human rights by your Government against Mordechai Vanunu?
