Appeal to the NZ government and all kindhearted Kiwis to help stop the
persecution to be held in Wellington on July 20

Thursday July 20, 2006 will mark seven years since the bloody persecution of

with 2920 deaths confirmed and many tens of thousands still missing after being
detained by authorities.
