State Terrorism
.
On 15 October 2007 — following an 18-month undercover police operation — the New Zealand Government carried out a series of dawn raids on the homes of its citizens using armed police wearing masks.
Put simply, this was a terrorist attack by the Crown against its citizens and these events have been well canvassed in the full length documentary film, Operation 8, plus Vince Siemer’s in-depth article, The Operation-8 Saga, at Kiwis First, to list just two sources.
Today, four remaining defendants — Urewera Four — begin their trial in the High Court at Auckland . . .
