Anti-nuclear proterstors rally at Vanunu prison

Dozens of anti-nuclear campaigners rallied outside Mordechai Vanunu’s prison today, a day ahead of his release, praising the former nuclear technician as a hero for revealing Israel’s nuclear secrets 18 years ago.

Ireland's Nobel Peace Prize laureate Mairead Maguire and British actress Susannah York were among the activists from around the world assembled outside Shikma Prison in the Israeli coastal town of Ashkelon.
