When you sentence a person, you have defined a limit not only for the sentence but also for the world that will receive him when he has served it. Vanunu was sentenced to 18 years, whether you agree with the length of the sentence or not.
He has served those 18 years plus four as "a prisoner of the state", effectively confined to barracks. We have a psychological problem with delimitation in general. Dealing with it will be good practice for fixing borders and coming back down to earth from the weird and wonderful world of luftmenschlichkeit. |
