Message To The World On Receiving Carl Von Ossietzky Medal 2010

By Mordechai Vanunu

05 October, 2010
Countercurrents.org

Today Oct. 5 is a historic day in my life and for wistleblowers world wide. On this day in 1986, I fulfilled my mission that I took on myself to inform all the world- not governments nor spies organization- but every human being who can read about Israel's nuclear weapon arsenal as it was published by the Sunday Times, which put Mordechai Vanunu's story on its front page under the headline: “Revealed — the secrets of Israel's nuclear arsenal.” For this I was sentenced to 18 years prison in Israel, 12 of them in isolation, and after the release 6 more years without freedom of speech and freedom of movements in Israel. I was following the spirit of Ossietztky without even knowing or having read about him. This proves that we, the people, have the same mind, same spirit, same beliefs in human rights and freedom and fight for the rights of the people everywhere. The first step is to give the people the information and let them chose the right direction.


Ossietzky did not survive the brutality of prison. I survived, and I am ready to continue to speak on behalf of all the wistleblowers. Knowledge is the power of every human being. I hope Israel will now end all my suffering 18 years in prison and 6 more years of restrictions not to travel, so I can travel all over the world.


I want to thank International Federation for Human Rights (FIDH) .for the courage to give me the Von Ossietztky medal even if I receive it after 24 years. I hope this time I will be free to come to Berlin and speak also on behalf of Ossietztky in the city.
All the best, Thank You. VMJC
