Amnesty Cage Action - Far Greater Than Ahmed Zaoui
Memories of the Bad old Days
South African Honorary Consul and New Zealand’s former Race Relations Conciliator, Gregory Fortuin today said that being
publicly caged would bring back memories of the oppressive South African regime.
According to Fortuin this will revive memories of many dear friends who were incarcerated without trial and deprived of
their freedom. He said, “Those detained without a trial found it torturous, those deprived of human contact in solitary
confinement found it inhumane”. The irony is that during those dark days it was the efforts of thousands of fair-minded
New Zealanders that ensured “the warm rays of sunshine shone in the dark corridors of Robben Island” to quote Mandela.
“This is not a challenge to New Zealand’s sovereignty but an appeal to its continued sense of fairness and reputation
for justice” Fortuin said.
Fortuin said, “Ahmed Zaoui should be given a FAIR TRIAL or his FREEDOM, else who knows next time which one of us will be
Ahmed Zaoui”
