@rnayacalevu This is an important issue that should be a focus of talanoa Pacific wide. I do know New Zealand is being pressured to open up to more Pacific peoples, especially those that are most impacted by climate change; to categorise Pacific Island nations as visa exempt countries.
@JohnReid16 @MorganGodfery @nzlabour Great that TPM has won four electorate seats but check the Party vote in all the Māori electorates, it went overwhelmingly Labour: in one case over 40% in one case + 50%. Electorates with the largest Pasifika poorest populations recognised a Labour Government was best for them.
Iranian #HumanRightsDefender#NargesMohammadi is being tortured & ill-treated in Shahr-e Rey prison, including by the intentional denial of specialised healthcare she needs in reprisal for her human rights work. @khamenei_ir free her now! https://t.co/8QsDf0B1jg, @AmnestyNZ
@MorganGodfery @MorganGodfery @sir19631 Exactly. I have been asking that ? since the first tents went up. The Parliamentary precinct is easy to close off. I support the Police non-violent approach but not their do nothing else, It’s truly bizarre.
What @AmnestyOZ's Shankar Kasynathan
@Shankabout says! This abjectly cruel treatment of those seeking refuge must end in 2022 @ScottMorrisonMP .Time to accept AotearoaNZ's offer and allow these men a safe home!. #GameOver
@MegdeRonde Thanks, Meg, and Amnesty International, for keeping giving us the facts about the situation in Afghanistan. Given the dangers to so many it didn't seem right to click on the heart.
@ShaharzadAkbar@MegdeRonde We can and must support the extraordinarily brave human rights defenders like those working for the Afghanistan Independent Human Rights Commission & civil society organisations, especially threatened women. It’s time for New Zealand to stand up and act on our principles!
@MegdeRonde@Breakfaston1@JohnJCampbell@AmnestyNZ Great item, thanks John Campbell, Meg and Meng. Especially clear and helpful explanation of the relationship of hate speech and freedom of expression Meg.
