Hearings on Zaoui to be held in secret

By Ant / 8 May 2006

Human rights observers and reporters will be barred from a series of secret hearings held to review the security risk certificate lodged against Algerian refugee Ahmed Zaoui. Algerian refugee Ahmed Zaoui has been held in detention since he claimed political asylum on his arrival at Auckland Airport in December 2002 following almost a decade in exile.
The first hearing will begin on August 7. The Inspector-General of Intelligence and Security, Justice Paul Neazor, will be reviewing whether the security risk certificate from the Security Intelligence Service director, Richard Woods, was justified and proper.

About us

This site is run by the Social Justice Commission of the Anglican Church.

We seek to nurture justice spirituality and imagination, and engage in advocacy in all areas of life, overcoming poverty and transforming violence.

We encourage people to think and live “justly”, and emphasise debate and action on local, national and global issues.

Although we are Anglican, our vision isn’t so much about being Anglican. It’s about living justly. Justice is about how you live your life, and being just where we are. Working together, we can all flourish.
