- Shin Bet security service officials will visit Mordechai
Vanunu at his cell in Ashkelon's Shekma Prison this week to brief the former
nuclear plant technician about restrictions he will face after his release
from jail next Wednesday.
-
- The restrictions are based on clauses 108-109 of the
State of Emergency statute passed in 1945 under the British Mandate.
-
- Under the regulations, Vanunu will be allowed to choose
his town of residence, but will be forbidden to leave city limits unless
he reports his intentions to the local police force.
-
- In addition, Vanunu will not be allowed to approach any
border terminal, including Ben-Gurion International Airport, the country's
ports, or borders with the Palestinian Authority, as stipulated in a list
of crossing points to be given to him by security officials. Also, Vanunu
will not be allowed to be in contact with foreigners - whether in face-to-face
meetings or by telephone, fax, or email - including foreign citizens residing
in Israel.
-
-
- Vanunu also will not be allowed to approach foreign embassies
and divulge details to anyone regarding the Dimona plant where he worked
or the circumstances of his being kidnapped and transported to Israel.
-
- Vanunu will be informed that he will not have passport
privileges, and therefore, cannot leave the country.
-
- Security officials will tell Vanunu that these restrictions
will be in effect for six months. During that time, his behavior will be
reviewed: if he does not try to circumvent the prohibitions, the restrictions
might be lifted. The officials will warn Vanunu that should he try to violate
the restrictions, he could be placed on trial.
-
- Vanunu will be given a few days to appeal the restrictions.
-
- After having cut off relations several months ago with
his long-time attorney, Avigdor Feldman, Vanunu has asked the Association
for Civil Rights in Israel (ACRI) to represent his legal interests. Vanunu
recently informed relatives who are allowed to visit him in prison that
he does not want ACRI officials to handle his affairs until he is released
from prison
