TOPSHOT-MIDEAST-ISRAEL-VANUNU

TOPSHOT - Former Israeli nuclear technician Mordechai Vanunu, surrounded by security guards, flashes the V-sign for victory as he walks free out of the high security prison of Shikma in Askelon, southern Israel after his release 21 April 2004. Vanunu said he was "proud and happy" to have blown the whistle on Israel's nuclear programme as he was released at the end of an 18-year prison sentence. The nuclear whistleblower said that his treatment was "cruel and barbaric" and insisted that he had "no more secrets" to reveal. The one-time technician at the Dimona nuclear plant in southern Israel was abducted by secret service agents in Italy, smuggled back to Israel and then jailed back in 1986 after leaking details of the plant to Britain's Sunday Times newspaper.
