I'm sure Rokhsareh has got better things to do than "overstaying" in New Zealand

This is an absurd, illogical, and irrational ban. End it immediately.

This is a discrace to NZ and she should never have been refused entry to NZ. An apology is needed

This is an outrage. She should be given a visa straight away to enter N.Z

Documentaries educate us on important issues. She must be allowed in to represent her film and country

Thousands of unacceptable people flow through the airport gates as long as they are cashed up.....then a decision like this is made about an artist....or is she being punished for being a human rights activist????
By NZs ruling neo-lib politicians

This incident is on the edge of bizarre. Given the context in which her visa application was filed and acknowledging the rules for entry to the USA are not the same for NZ, the decision to deny her has undertones of stereotyping if not racism

Absurd decision not to allow visa needs to be reversed.

this is blatant racial profiling and discrimination and is totally unacceptable. I'm ashamed that our country should treat Rokhsareh Ghaemmaghami in this way.
