After serving 18 years for revealing details of Israel’s nuclear weapons programme, Israeli technician Mordechai Vanunu was released in 2004 with restrictions on his freedom of speech, association and movement.
On 28 December, Vanunu was arrested and charged with violating one condition, that of not talking to foreigners. His lawyer, Avigdor Feldman, said Vanunu was arrested because he has a Norwegian girlfriend whom police also interrogated. Vanunu was held for three days, then put under house arrest pending trial.
