Imprisonment
Christchurch supporters of
imprisoned Algerian refugee Ahmed Zaoui gathered yesterday
outside the Christchurch Cathedral at 12 midday. The
gathering began with a Muslim call to prayer followed by an
interfaith exchange of prayers. After the prayer service
speakers, Green MP Keith Locke addressed the gathering. The
gathering then proceeded to the SIS office where a cage was
erected and a week long vigil by supporters of the plight of
Mr Zaoui commenced.
