On September 23, 2008, the Jerusalem District Court reduced Vanunu's sentence to three months, "In light of (Vanunu's) ailing health and the absence of claims that his actions put the country's security in jeopardy."

On June 14, 2009, while I was in east Jerusalem, Vanunu and he told me, "The Central Commander of the General Army testified in court that it is OK if I speak in public as long as I do not talk about nuclear weapons."

On July 6, 2009, Israeli Supreme Court President Dorit Beinish continued to deny Vanunu the right to leave the state claiming that, "case is still generating great interest, like any other security-related case. The media's attention he gets is proof of that."

I phoned Vanunu after reading that bad news and he said, "You have freedom of speech and freedom of movement. Do what you want. But I am not publishing anything. Everything is already on the Internet."

The very next day, July 7, 2009, my Facebook account was deactivated while I was posting my video interviews with Vanunu and posing the question, "Have you eyes to see and ears to hear Vanunu on video in 2005, 2006, 2008?'

Facebook never replied to my multiple email inquiries asking "why was I deactivated/deleted/censored while posting to a Cause and Group I created and was the only Administrator of?"

On December 14, 2009 Vanunu returned to the Israeli Supreme Court and I phoned him and learned he expected their decision regarding the three month sentence "in a few weeks" and he was confident he will be freed as "they have no case against me."
