    Indymedia NZ editor facing 14 years in jail

    According to: http://www.indymedia.ie/article/84784


    '17 comrades arrested in massive paramilitary operations by the New Zealand State. Huge Maori anger about to explode. One good friend of ours a 19 year old editor of Indymedia Aotearoa who cannot be named as yet because of name suppression.'

    'An appeal for Irish unions, parties and organisations to send solidarity messages to activists in Aotearoa, drawing on the Irish experience of the Prevention of Terrorism act. Please email me at joe@solidarityunion.com and i can pass on to Tino Rangatiratanga groups who would appeciate support from their Celtic cousins!!!'

    That seems very very vague. Why would someone support a campaign with so little info?

    It looks like most of those arrested were charged with firearms offenses.... let me guess, the guns were planted by the evil paramilitary overlords (also known as the police).
    The accused, ..., have been charged with firearms offences, including illegal possession of Molotov cocktails, rifles and ammunition.

    I am convinced that most of the people that post on the indymedia website are bonkers. Here is just a snippet of the retardation on show:

    If they are terrorists ....

    Perhaps it would be wise to ensure that these people did not have "high velocity firearms and petrol bombs" before showing solidarity.

    If they were indeed armed to the teeth, as it would appear, then the actions of the state in NZ are entirly appropriate.

    "(if) they were indeed armed to the teeth, as it would appear, then the actions of the state in NZ are entirly appropriate."

    Oh yes, but its ok for the NZ state to have weapons of violence isnt it? - or is it that state weapons are in the 'responsible' hands of the likes of Bush and Blair, Australia and Japan - so called "democratic" nations who participate in killing many hundreds of thousands for oil and national gain.

    People have the right to take up arms against inequality and oppression, to label every organization terrorist who arms itself, and who are deemed by states to be illegal, is nonsense.

    A heart-rending story. Let us pray that our dear Aotearoa comrades are released from the shackles of the evil white imperialists.

    I just have one bit of advice for our friend or "comrade"; don't drop the soap buddy! We'll see whether he comes out of jail with the same leftie views after he's been repeatedly sodomized by the 'disadvantaged' prisoners.
