Event Description

On October 15th 2007, more than 300 cops carried out dawn raids on Tuhoe land and on homes across New Zealand/Aotearoa. Police make the ludicrous claim that the raids were in response to “concrete terrorist threats” from Indigenous activists. Last month, four activists were sentenced on firearms charges. Taame Iti and Rangi Kemara each received a two-and-a-half year jail term, while the remaining two were given nine months home detention.

 

Come to a special screening of this compelling documentary and show your support for the international campaign to free these political prisoners. While the film is local in focus, the issues raised in Operation 8 — using terror laws to silence dissent — are global.

 

Dinner will be served at 6:30 pm for an $8 donation. Film screening at 7:00 pm. There is no charge for the film, but there will be collection to support the campaign.

 

Solidarity Salon, 580 Sydney Road, Brunswick.

Hosted by the Freedom Socialist Party. For more information: freedom.socialist.party@ozemail.com.au
