Description | ASHKELON, Israel (CNN) -- A defiant Mordechai Vanunu has calmly walked out of prison after serving 18 years for spilling Israeli nuclear secrets to a British newspaper.
Sporting a dress shirt and tie and flashing V-for-victory signs alongside his brother Meir outside the Shikma Prison in the coastal city of Ashkelon, the former nuclear technician said he had no regrets over his actions.
"To all those calling me traitor, I am saying I am proud, I am proud and happy to do what I did," he said.
Vanunu was convicted of treason and espionage and spent most of his term in solitary confinement after providing the UK's The Sunday Times with information and pictures of Israel's secret nuclear reactor in the desert town of Dimona. |
