Israeli nuclear whistleblower Mordechai Vanunu has been freed from jail after serving 11 weeks for breaking the terms of his release and meeting a foreigner.
'Mordecai Vanunu was freed from prison on Sunday morning,' a spokesman for the prisons authority said.
Vanunu began serving a three-month sentence at a prison in Ramle near Tel Aviv on 23 May.
A court had ordered him in December to do three months community service or serve three months in prison for violating the terms of his release from jail back in 2004.
The former nuclear technician was arrested in December at a Jerusalem hotel while talking to a Norwegian woman.
This was a violation of the terms laid down when he was freed after serving 18 years for disclosing the inner workings of Israel's Dimona nuclear plant to Britain's Sunday Times newspaper.
The 55-year-old had opted for community service but asked the Supreme Court if he could perform it in Arab east Jerusalem for fear he would be harassed by Israelis on the mainly Jewish western side of the city.
The court rejected his request and ordered him to serve three months behind bars.
Vanunu was originally jailed in 1986 and spent more than ten of his 18 years in prison in solitary confinement.
Since then, he has been detained several times for violating the terms of his release that ban him from travel or contact with foreigners.
