My friend Mordechai Vanunu

Kay Krafczyk | 06.05.2005 22:35 | Anti-militarism | Anti-racism | Repression

this article is about my friend Mordechai Vanunu(www.nonviolence.org/vanunu) and little about me. I came to know him last year as a member of Gush-Shalom in writing to him and always keeping in touch. Unfortunately I had never the chance to visit him yet.

"Solitary Confinement is a living grave
to live alone is living with yourself, talking to yourself in the past remembering yourself, living the past in the present, living the past many times"(www.nonviolence.org/vanunu/mvpoemburied.html)

you will see soon how I know this feeling in another way. The reason is that I have epilepsy and sometimes really don`t feel as free as I would like to:

Prison(hospital)

More than ever I feel like in a prison,
how terrible is the feeling
to be imprisonned
more than ever I feel in a prison
windows shut
doors closed
only able moving in bed
ever tasted?
I feel like in a prison
hardly able to call
on three sides a wall
and when set free
Yey, finally found liberty
they cry suddenly
security
not being able to walk, they say
security
wheelchair as not being able to walk
being on the floor
trying to run away
one sweet door
using illegaly
only way to get out
floor on the station-not from use
walls in the front
walls behind
prisoner`s doors on the right and the left
office on the left
one door to fresh air
some freedom
some sunshine
but no home

After we exchanged some E-mails I knew somehow I could trust him, so if I didn`t feel well I told him everything in my mind. Unfortunately he is under very high pressure under present, but I tell the Israel Authorities:
Listen: nobody can take away my friends, nobody!!!And for sure not any government.

Well, end october the restrictions of Vanunu had been renewed for 6 months despite all protests. In november, the day Arafat died, they put him into house-arrest in a very ridiculous way. Invaded the church with machine guns in order to take his computer(and DVD) away in the hope to find new secrets. Worried I called him then, but he told me he was ok. In december he got elected as Rector by Scottish students of the Glasgow University and all of us were so full of hope, but despite this election nothing came out. We were all desperate also about the cowardice of the other countries. Sweden`s and Norway`s response to his request for Political Asylum were really poor and they were not considering that he lives in Palestinian territory annexed by ISRAEL as well as all the other injustices happening to him.
Israel will never let him go when we don`t put real pressure on it. Whether he keeps the restrictions or not: SENIOR SECURITY OFFICIAL: He may not have any new secrets, but it is sufficient that he will mount a campaign. People around the world will use him as banner. there is no reason for us to allow this provocation when we can stop it
we, his friends are suffering too: when will be allowed to meet him? when may we stop fearing for what`s happening to him? When can his brother Meir, very devoted in fighting for his brother`s rights, join his own family?
