“Make injustice visible”. Mahatma Gandhi
The article below by Mary Hobbs of the Daily Telegraph, is about my friend Liz Gunn, who was assaulted, (along with her camerman) by NZ Police at a public airport. Whether you’re reading this in New Zealand or elsewhere, and you care about your freedoms, I urge you to read the whole article and see the brief video clip of the assault, (also linked in article.) I finally saw the footage just now, and was nauseated to see a peaceful friend being thrown to the floor and injured in what may well have been a pre-planned assault.
If it can happen to her, it can happen to one of you. Just stay in line, and you’ll be fine, but for how long.
Kudos to Mary Hobb for writing this article.

IS NEW ZEALAND HOVERING ON THE BRINK OF A POLICE STATE?

Imagine arriving at Auckland International airport on a Saturday afternoon to meet friends flying in from overseas. You gather other Kiwis there for the same purpose, in a festive sense of anticipation. While chatting with your friend, who arrived with his best camera to record the happy occasion, you are singled out by a security worker who mistakenly considers you’re there to commercially film. With a sense of disquiet at being singled out, you explain that you are not there in a commercial capacity, but the airport employee says — regardless of your explanation — that you are going to be trespassed and the police will be called. Read the rest of the story here.
