Let Vanunu go

Yossi Melman, Haaretz, April 26:

The state claims that Vanunu remains a tangible risk to its security. That is a baseless argument, worrisome, immoral and unjust. It is baseless because Vanunu stopped working at the Dimona nuclear reactor more than 20 years ago and it is reasonable to assume that the reactor and Israel’s nuclear policies have undergone technological changes that outdate his knowledge; and if not, then the fact that the state of Israel is not working on improving its nuclear capabilities should be a cause for real concern. In any case, Vanunu speaks about what the world already knows and continues to know: Israel is a nuclear power.
