500 Days Is Far More Than Enough
“Ahmed Zaoui has now been imprisoned in New Zealand for 500 days. The Government refuses to move him to a more suitable location despite legislation designed to allow people in Ahmed Zaoui's situation to be treated with more humanity” says Alex Davidson, who runs the website http://www.freezaoui.org.nz
“If the government insists on following the tortured course of the faulty Security Risk Certificate legislation through the court system, then Ahmed Zaoui must be moved from prison to somewhere more suitable.
“It is not acceptable for Ahmed Zaoui to be the ‘guinea pig’ for flawed legislation, bearing the full weight of 500 days imprisonment, without an end in sight.”
