Vanunu release may be delayed

Israel’s nuclear whistleblower Mordechai Vanunu may not be released as scheduled today because of his refusal to provide his address to authorities, a prison official said.

“Vanunu will not be released until he supplies the address where he will be residing and he has so far refused to do that,” prison spokesman Ofer Lefler said in Ashkelon.

Vanunu was due to be released at 9am Irish time today.
