JERUSALEM, July 2 A Jerusalem Magistrate's Court judge sentenced a nuclear spy to six months in prison for violating conditions of his release.
Judge Yoel Tzur handed the penalty, along with a three-year suspended jail term, to Mordechai Vanunu for violating 14 conditions of his release, the Jerusalem Post reported Monday.
"The accused has shown blatant contempt of (OC Central Command's) decrees," Tzur wrote in his ruling. Vanunu had violated orders not to meet with journalists, participate in Internet chats or leave the boundaries of the Jerusalem Municipality.
"We are talking about a defendant who has not expressed any regret over his deeds. I gave him the chance to say his word at the end of the trial but he decided to remain mute," Tzur wrote.
