ON 30 SEPTEMBER 1986, Israeli nuclear technician Mordechai Vanunu was kidnapped by Mossad agents in Rome, and clandestinely shipped to Israel. He was later convicted of treason and espionage.
His 'crime' was to tell a Sunday Times reporter what all the world knew - that Israel was secretly bullding nuclear bombs.
Since his kidnapping, Vanunu has been in permanent solitary confinement, in conditions denounced by Amnesty internationa as crue. Innuman and degrading.
This week marks the tenth anniversary of his kidnapping. In protests around the world, activists have demanded his immediate release.
Socialist Outlook joins them in this demand, and recognises Vanunu's extraordinary courage in resisting all the attempts to break his spirit and impair nis sanity. SPECIAL OFFER Two years in the writing, Socialist Democracy's founding document A Programme For The Irish Revolution
