Vanunu?s career as an informer / spy, as pretending peace emissary should have found its legal saturation and consequently come to a political security legal and national pride?s end with the final 18 years verdict. - Actually there was no place for any further legal / security action and or restriction to be imposed upon him after fully ending his prescribed jail term of 18 years as per court?s judgment.

Principle and practice of normal juridical / court procedures and after finding the accused guilty fined its complete expression in the judgment and therein fixed length of interment / jail monetary fines, restrictions. In this action the State / society prescribes its way/manner to the guilty person to regain his place in society after having served the prescribed punishment.
Based upon this principle of having paid the dues to society for your crime the official punishment is ended and only on the personal level of his own credibility evaluation social / economic differentiation continue as per case. Definitely juridical / physical security conditions with possibility of legal enforcement are justifiable as otherwise such actions would criticize the final juridical judgment with its measured finings would be declared as incomplete/ insufficient and in the extreme case being some sort of intervention into the independent court decisions.

In Vanunu?s case all these legal human sociological political basic terms were overruled by an old pre-State of Israel / Mandatory War time emergency regulation, which the Knesset revalidated / included into Israel?s juridical procedures and its laws and they formed the basis for the present accusation of non fulfillment of very restrictive orders imposed upon Vanunu after having served his full prison term. - The official reason for invoking this antidemocratic and anti juridical regulation was, Vanunu still having retained secrets which could become dangerous to the security of the State of Israel! An argument brought by Israel security services who may have had a personal bad feelings about Vanunu?s unacceptable motivated actions by being outwitted. - No other real acceptable argument could have been the source of their invoking the security guardians of Israel?s nuclear position / development after more than 20 years old information which Vanunu passed on.

The conclusion should be that the present accusations which include a lower court verdict of another six months imprisonment for not complying with the security imposed restriction, should be dropped. - Furthermore the general question of this so widely covering Palestinian Mandatory security order should be reviewed and not being renewed in its present form. If needed owing to the State of Israel especial situation befitting legal orders should be worked out and inacted.
