Report from Justin Morahan of the Peace People

Five Peace People from Ireland joined about 50 others from several countries in a week long campaign in Israel to stop the sanctions aganst Mordechai Vanunu and to start a campaign to secure his full freedom.

Extract From Report: On Friday, 22 April, at a morning vigil at the Paris Park, protestors held portraits of Mordechai Vanunu and signs that read "We are all Mordechai Vanunu" and "Wherever we are, Vanunu Is" along with the names of the places from which the delegates had come. The vigil was followed by a slow procession to the Sharon HQ where an attempt to hand in or read a letter was prevented by Mossad, Ann Patterson acting as negotiator. Police escorted the delegation back to the Park where Justin read the signed letter publicly. It was later posted to Mr Sharon in the post tray at the College of St George.

Mordechai, Mordechai, sit quietly! (Don't want to.)
Shut your mouth! (Don't want to.)
Behave yourself! (Don't want to.)
OK, then back to prison! (I'm not afraid!)

The old reactor stands there,
Not shiny, like at first.
From old age it shakes there.
Like Chernobyl, it's apt to burst! (It will burst!)

Mordechai, Mordechai, keep away from the press! (Don't want to!)
It's stupid! Don't talk to them! (I want to!)
When will you learn to shut up? (Never!)
So the "SHABAK" will come and eat you up, ahmmmm!
