Scottish Socialist Party MSP Rosie Kane tonight congratulated the students of Glasgow University for electing Mordechai Vanunu as their rector.
Members of the Scottish Socialist Party at Glasgow University have been campaigning hard to get Vanunu elected over the past few weeks.
Rosie said tonight; "This is fantastic news and I applaud the students of Glasgow University for their achievement in electing Mordechai Vanunu as rector.
"I am glad to see that the students of Glasgow refused to be hypnotised by a New Labour soap opera star but instead have shown the internationalist outlook of young people in Glasgow and a determination to recognise the courage and determination of a man who is the Nelson Mandela of the Middle East.
"This is also a victory for the Palestinians, whose cause Vanunu supports."
