Faslane -Nottingham- London April 2007
On 21st April 2007, Mordechai Vanunu will have been held captive in Israel for 21 years.
For telling the world that Israel was secretly developing nuclear weapons, Mordechai Vanunu spent 18 years in prison – 12 of these in solitary confinement. He was released from prison in April 2004, but is still not free. His freedom of speech, movement and association are all severely restricted in clear contravention of his human rights. He is denied a passport, and not even allowed to leave East Jerusalem without permission. He is forbidden to communicate with foreigners or discuss Israel’s nuclear weapons, and suffers continuing harassment by the Israeli authorities. 21 years’ detention is 21 years too long.
To protest at Mordechai’s continuing persecution we are organising the Vanunu Freedom Ride (VFR) – a bicycle ride starting at Faslane, the UK's nuclear-armed “Trident” submarine base near Glasgow on 7th April and ending at the Israeli Embassy in London on 21st April. The Ride will demand that Mordechai be set free at last, that his vision of a nuclear-free Middle East be fulfilled and an end be put to all nuclear weapons worldwide. We also demand freedom for Palestine. We are planning to stop at various towns and cities on the way where we will hold events to raise awareness of Vanunu’s situation and Israel’s nuclear weapons – still secret and not subject to international inspection.
COME AND SHOW YOUR SUPPORT AND SOLIDARITY ON APRIL 16TH
