Mordechai Vanunu
EDM number 574 in 2009-10, proposed by Jeremy Corbyn on 12/01/2010.
Categorised under the topics of Human rights and Middle East.
That this House condemns the latest incident in the continuing harassment of Mordechai Vanunu when he was detained in December 2009 and placed under house arrest for being with his girlfriend; notes that he completed an 18 year sentence for revealing Israel's secret development of nuclear arsenal over five years ago; that, despite the passage of 23 years since he was brutally kidnapped by Israeli agents for the publication of that information by The Sunday Times, is alarmed that Israel insists that Vanunu has sensitive information that could harm its security; and calls on the Government to recognise these facts and to insist that Israel respects Vanunu's human rights by withdrawing its repressive restrictions and that allowing him the freedom to leave Israel if he so wishes.
This motion has been signed by a total of 56 MPs.
