Whistleblower Vanunu fights restrictions

Nuclear whistleblower Mordechai Vanunu, on trial in Israel for violating the terms of his release from prison, said today he is determined to persuade the court to remove the restrictions placed on him.

Prosecutors in Jerusalem accuse Vanunu – who served an 18-year sentence for revealing secrets of Israel’s atomic programme to London’s Sunday Times newspaper – of giving interviews to foreign media, despite a ban on contacts with foreigners.
