Instead they have invented a Sunday-best language of ‘public affairs’ and ‘government relations’ to dress up what they do.

Vanunu still not free Tuesday, January 03, 2012 For 25 years the NUJ has campaigned for Mordechai Vanunu, the former Israeli nuclear technician who revealed Israel’s nuclear weapons to the British press in 1986. He was subsequently lured to Italy by a Mossad agent, kidnapped and taken to Israel, where he stood trial and was sentenced to 18 years in prison. Released in 2004, he was made an honorary member of the NUJ and has since campaigned to leave Israel. Below is an update from Vanunu’s supporters in the UK with suggestions as to how you may help.
