Moko marches won’t condone violence
Moko marches won’t condone violence – Sensible Sentencing Trust
23rd May 2016
The Sensible
Sentencing Trust has released a statement saying they will
not condone violence at any of the Moko events they are
involved with.
Sensible Sentencing is planning nationwide rallies and marches to be held at every Court House to coincide with the sentencing of Moko’s killers at 9am on 27th June.
Trust founder, Garth McVicar said an event permit had been issued by police and Court staff was being notified.
“Sensible Sentencing does not condone violence in any shape or form.”
“The person who made the comment about violence on TV 3 news last night is not connected or involved in organising our nationwide rallies.”
“While our politicians and Justice System has endorsed violence by allowing Moko’s killers to do a dirty back room plea bargain to downgrade the brutal killing of Moko from murder to manslaughter, SST does not believe in fighting violence with violence.”
