The scientists launching the appeal, many of them nuclear physicists and some of whom developed the first atomic bomb, expressed their support for Mordechai Vanunu as a man of conscience moved by the danger of the spread of nuclear weapons to new arenas of conflict.

Vanunu's conviction will be appealed to the Israeli Supreme Court. Meanwhile, Vanunu's brother, Mair, has sought political asylum in England, after the Israeli government threatened to arrest him for making public information surrounding Vanunu's kidnapping by the Mossad. Bank and Gaza.
