Vigil For Ahmed Zaoui: Wgtn Thurs
Wellington, Thursday, 14 August - vigil in support of Algerian asylum seeker Ahmed Zaoui who has been granted refugee status by the Refugee Status Appeal Authority, but is still being detained in Paremoremo on the basis of a security risk certificate issued by the SIS.
Meet at 12-30pm at the
Immigration Service National Office (52 The Terrace), at
12-45pm we will walk together to parliament. While the
Immigration Service as such have no influence into Mr
Zaoui's situation, our meeting place and walk will be
symbolic of how the issue has moved from being an
immigration issue as such, to becoming a political issue.
At parliment we will be directly calling on the Government
to release Mr Zaoui - and to accept the findings of the
Refugee Status Appeals Authority.
