ANTI-FASCIST ACTION ALERT: #57 -- CIVIL RIGHTS IN NEW ZEALAND
N.Z. Government Moves To Enact Repressive Intel Legislation
The New Zealand Government is proposing an imminent law change which
would extend the powers of the New Zealand Security Intelligence
Service (NZSIS) to break and enter into "any place" in New Zealand.
The New Zealand Security Intelligence Service Bill 1998 is being
rushed through Parliament after the December 1998 NZ Court of Appeal
ruling which found that NZSIS interception warrants do not confer the
right to enter private property.
This arose from a civil court action (Choudry v Attorney-General)
taken against the NZSIS after two NZSIS agents were caught breaking
into the home of GATT Watchdog organiser and anti-APEC activist Aziz
Choudry. The break-in took place during an alternative conference on
APEC and free trade which Aziz was involved with organising, just
prior to the 1996 APEC Trade Ministers Meeting in Christchurch. see:

ANTI-FASCIST ACTION ALERT: #58 -- STOP THE WAR AGAINST IRAQ
National Day of Coordinated Protests -- March 11, 1999
The International Action Center urges all anti-war activists and anti-
sanctions groups to take to the streets on Thursday, March 11 as part
of a coordinated protest against the criminal bombing of Iraq, which
has become a daily event.
More bombs and missiles have dropped on Iraq since the conclusion of
the so-called Operation Desert Fox bombing between Dec. 16 and 19.
Hundreds of civilians have died. Scores of targets vital to Iraq's
civilian infrastructure have been damaged or destroyed.
The bombing is designed to strengthen the impact of sanctions. It is a
pre-meditated plan to increase the suffering of the Iraqi people. The
bombing violates U.S. law. It is an undeclared but real war. see:
