      Nuclear
      Whistleblower
      Mordechai Vanunu is in Ashkelon Prison
      in Israel, serving an 18-year sentence for
      informing the public about Israel's secret
      nuclear weapons program.   Following his
      revelations about Israel's nuclear weapons
      to a British newspaper, he was lured from
      Britain to Rome, where he was abducted
      by Israeli agents.   The hand in the above
      logo signifies the means by which Vanunu
      pressed his palm to the window of a police
      van in Jerusalem, on Sep 30 1986, to
      inform the world of his kidnapping.

      Until Mar 12 1998, he was held in solitary
      confinement.  This is the longest known
      stretch in solitary confinement to be
      endured by anyone.   Within the past year,
      the campaign for his release has
      intensified worldwide.

      Two years ago, 13 U.S. House of
      Representatives members appealed for
      his release.  Now that number has swelled
      to 36.
