Appeal to Ireland for Solidarity- INternational Day of Action Sat October 27th First they came for the Maori, and I didn't speak up, because I wasn't a Maori. Then they came for the Anarchists, and I didn't speak up, because I wasn't a Anarchist. Then they came for the Ecologists, and I didn't speak up, because I wasn't an Ecologist. Then they came for me, and by there was no one left to speak up for me. In a wave of massive state repression, 300+ Police, in many cases armed, raided houses around Aotearoa / NZ on October 16th making 17 arrests. Search warrants were carried out in Auckland, Whakatane, Ruatoki, Hamilton, Palmerston North, Wellington and Christchurch. Police are also seeking up to 60 people for questioning. The arrestees are all activists in the Tino Rangatiratanga, peace and environmental movements. |

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4Demand release of Aotearoa/NZ Political Prisoners
Free the Urewera 17! Global Day of Action
Date: Saturday, October 27, 2007
Time: 12:00pm - 3:00pm
Location: NZ High Commission London
Street: 80 Haymarket, SW1Y, Westminster
City/Town: London, United Kingdom
17 political activists in Aotearoa/New Zealand are being held in jail and threatened with charges of terrorism. What they have in common is supporting tino rangatiratanga, Maori claims to self-determination. These arrests are political (new tougher terrorism laws are coming up for debate in parliament) and aimed at creating a climate of fear. Therefore we see these arrests as state terrorism and demand the immediate release of the prisoners. This event is in support of a global day of action called by supporters of the prisoners.
Meet at the New Zealand High Commission in London, 12 noon on Saturday 27th. Bring banners, placards, noise makers and friends!
send the call out far and wide. If not in London, have your own protest in your city!

It's sleepy valley here with the General Populace regarding Civil Rights and Freedom. (The Water is Medicated).
The latest here is that even with the resolved Irish 'Conflict' , Proposals for an RFID ( Radio Frequency Identification) type Passport between both Jurisdictions by next year is already on the cards.
Everone's movements will be tracked all under the guise of 'security'. Be prepared for a very heavy crackdown on all our Liberties, everywhere.
A number of us feel that it is very close to a Totaliterian World Govt.
Carry a copy of the Country's Constitution if there is one and invoke it on arrest. It may be the only chance left to Lawfully dismantle this N.W.O.
There were protests all over NZ in solidarity with the struggle in Ireland since 1969. Now is the time for Irish people to stand with Maori and other activists who are being cracked down upon.
