Israel’s Office of the Prime Minister on Tuesday summoned the owners and top editors of country’s media establishments to forbid them from publishing reports on a prisoner who had been secretly jailed in 2010.

Haaretz reported that the office called an "emergency meeting" with the Israeli Editors Committee where they were reportedly ordered to “withhold publication of information pertaining to an incident that is very embarrassing to a certain government agency.”

The order comes in response to a new investigative report by Australia’s ABC TV news program Foreign Correspondent which alleges to have revealed the identity of a former inmate in Israel’s Ayalon Prison who was found dead in his cell in 2010.

The secret inmate, known as “Prisoner X,” was reportedly kept in a cell built for the man who assassinated former Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin.

He was a dual-citizen Mossad agent who Israel disappeared like he was an Arab and he killed himself in his cell. Whatever crime he supposedly committed is unknown.

Still, at least the most democratic state in the history of history is still an example to us all with it's press censorship and secret indefinite detention without trial.

The connection between this guy and a Mossad controlled company which was supplying electronic equipment to Iran is intriguing. Maybe something to do with Stuxnet ?
