Israeli whistleblower says he has no more secrets to divulge.
Israel’s interior minister today extended a travel ban on nuclear whistleblower Mordechai Vanunu (pictured) for another year, officials said.
Vanunu, who has been barred from leaving the country since he was released from prison last year, must remain in the country until at least April 19, 2006, said Gilad Heiman, a spokesman for Interior Minister Ophir Pines-Paz.
Vanunu, a former technician at Israel’s nuclear plant in the southern town of Dimona, was released in April 2004 after serving 18 years for divulging information about Israel’s secretive atomic program to the Sunday Times.
Vanunu went on trial last week for allegedly violating the terms of his release, which also includes a ban on contacts with foreigners. At the hearing, prosecutors accused Vanunu of giving interviews to foreign media.
