Name: Huia Minogue on Nov 2, 2007Comments: This action should not occur without alerting the public about WHY people are being taken in such ways, and why so many youth activists have been under surveillance for so long. Come on come clean this is starting to smell like holding Ahmed Zoui for so long without charging him... These things shouldnt happen in NZFlag

Name: Mrs. Z Grammer on Nov 4, 2007Comments: Concerns among New Zealanders have grown regarding the recent para military style tactics used by the police, in rural communities near Whakatane. and elsewhere. Peace activists arrested in Wellington had their windows smashed as police forced their way inside (all while the media were filming- if the police really believed there were "dangerous terrorists" lurking inside, why on earth would they have allowed the media to be present) and were called "terrorists". All sense of proportion, and a respect for peoples rights, seems to have been lost in a rush to join the war on terror. This is something you would expect under George Bush's regime in the United States, not NZ. Surely political debate in this country needs to include reasoned discussions of what are the minimum parameters necessary for the operation of the state while protecting basic civil liberties. Imagine being elderly and having a disability, imagine being awoken at dawn in a quasi-military dawn raid (as occured in Ruatoki)and being dragged from your home. There is a fundamental problem with domestic anti-terrorism laws which is that all serious violent offending is already covered by our Crimes Act. We dont need a parallel set of laws, called "anti-terrorism" laws, where higher penalties are imposed, simply because the offender has a political motive. That political motive might be shared by many ordinary peaceful New Zealanders. It might be saving a block of native forest, protecting a stretch of beach with threatened species on the verge of extinction, or protesting a motorway going through a heritage area with beautiful Victorian kauri villas in Wellington or keeping NZ nuclear free. Our farming family is extremely uneasy about the number of young people who are being held in jail, without bail. We have not been given any information that would lead us to believe that this is justified. We have always, when tramping and hunting in Tuhoe country, been treated with the most incredible generosity and hospitality- it does not sit well with me to think of Tuhoe people being treated in this way. The Human Rights Commission has received official complaints from both Pakeha and Maori about the police actions; and this weekend a nationwide hui on human rights has been called to respond to the recent events. This is an issue about the rule of law, and how it is adhered to or breached (by the police as well as civilians). Those who break the law ie. having illegal firearms should be duly charged under the Crimes Act but I am seriously concerned about alllegations being improperly used about "terrorists" in NZ.. NZ can be proud of its past track record on giving women the vote, being nuclear free, not participating in the war in Iraq- recent over the top police para military actions are a blot on NZ's reputation.Flag

Capus on Nov 5, 2007Comments: We at the Religions for Peace-Philippine Interfaith Youth Network expresses our deep concern and saddness over this incident and appeals to the New Zealand authorities to release the detained activist. We also hope you would review and repeal your Terrorism Suppression Act bec. like the experience of the Filipino with the Human Security Act, it only led to further human rights violations against our people especially those who are struggling for genuine peace and justice.Flag
