LONDON (AP) - Students at a Scottish university on Wednesday elected Israeli nuclear whistle-blower Mordechai Vanunu their official spokesman.

Students at the University of Glasgow chose Vanunu as their rector, a venerable role that has gone to 19th-century prime ministers William Gladstone and Benjamin Disraeli and anti-apartheid activist Winnie Mandela.

Vanunu was nominated by a pro-Palestinian group and elected with 1,033 votes. University principal Sir Muir Russell said the choice "demonstrates the diverse and international concerns of Glasgow students."

Vanunu, 50, spent 18 years in prison in Israel after he was convicted of espionage and treason for supplying photographs and documents about Israel's secret nuclear facility to a British newspaper. He was released in April but is banned from leaving Israel.
