We the undersigned petition the World Media to seek and report the truth about Israel's Nuclear Deceptions and Vanunu's nearly 10 year struggle for his right to fade into the world instead of continuing to make headlines.
A cyber trail of truth has been established to assist The Media at:
The Vanunu Saga and summed up in Secrets, Lies and SECURITY'S Vendetta against Vanunu Mordechai
Enshrined in "Beyond Nuclear: Mordechai Vanunu's FREEDOM of SPEECH Trial and My Life as a Muckraker 2005-2010"
The Establishment of Israel's statehood was contingent upon upholding the UNIVERSAL DECLARATION of HUMAN RIGHTS and every Member State is obligated to hold ALL other Member States to it:
Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers.Article 19
On 25 December, Mordechai Vanunu's latest Appeal for his right to leave 'the only democracy in the Middle East' was heard.
On 29 December, Vanunu wrote: "No justice in Israel democracy. The supreme court by its chief justice Grunis rejected my appeal to be free from Israel state ,after 27 years in Israel prison."
Supreme Court Justice Asher Grunis denied Vanunu's Appeal stating, “The restrictions are intended to prevent future dissemination of classified material. In recent years the court has examined the necessity of the restrictions several times, and each time has been convinced that they are necessary for state security. The evidence shown here, including the covert evidence, indicates that the plaintiff is still a source of classified information, and is not hesitant to disseminate the information.”
Vanunu told Eileen Fleming, "All the secrets I had were published in 1989 in an important book, by [Nuclear Physicist] Frank Barnaby, “The Invisible Bomb: Nuclear Arms Race in the Middle East."
In 1986, Barnaby was hired by the London Sunday Times to vet Vanunu's story and he testified at Vanunu's closed door trial:
"I found Vanunu very straightforward about his motives for violating Israel's secrecy laws he explained to me that he believed that both the Israeli and the world public had the right to know about the information he passed on. He seemed to me to be acting ideologically.
"Israel's political leaders have, he said, consistently lied about Israel's nuclear-weapons programme and he found this unacceptable in a democracy. The knowledge that Vanunu had about Israel's nuclear weapons, about the operations at Dimona, and about security at Dimona could not be of any use to anyone today. He left Dimona in October 1985."
We the undersigned petition the World Media to seek and report the truth about Israel's Nuclear Deceptions and to Israel we say the only way Vanunu can harm 'the only democracy in the Middle East' is with Bad PR!
