Written question asked by Lord Dykes (Liberal Democrat), in the House of Lords. It was answered by Baroness Royall of Blaisdon (Labour) on Tuesday, 2 May 2006.


Israel: Mordechai Vanunu

Question
Whether they will make representations to the Government of Israel to rescind the extra 12 months’ movement restriction imposed on Mordechai Vanunu following the end of his 18 years’ incarceration.
Answer

On 27 April 2006, our embassy in Tel Aviv raised our concerns with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs about the decision to extend the movement restrictions for Mr Vanunu. Our ambassador in Tel Aviv previously raised our concerns in September 2005 when the restrictions were extended. We recognise that Israel has a right to protect its national security but are concerned that the restrictions are excessive.
