Three of the seven
Global Peace and Justice Auckland activists who
were arrested at Mt. Eden Remand Centre today are being
held in the Auckland Central police cells after refusing to
sign bail papers.
All three are refusing food in
solidarity with Iranian asylum seeker Ali Panah. Panah is on
the fifty-first day of his hunger strike in protest at the
government's refusal to grant him a temporary visa while it
remains unsafe for him to return to Iran. The three are
Simon Oosterman, Mengzhu Fu and Tyler Culpepper. They are
expected to be released on
Monday.
