NZ refuses to release Algerian man
2003-08-05
New Zealand's intelligence service has been accused of "sexing up" evidence to try to keep an Algerian man out of the country.
Seems like everybody's doing it...
Ahmed Zaoui has been held in solitary confinement since he arrived in the country late last year. Authorities detained Ahmed Zaoui fearing he had been involved in an Islamic terrorist group. But the country's Refugee Tribunal has now cleared him of such links. However, New Zealand's Immigration Minister is refusing to release Mr Zaoui from jail, saying the country's intelligence service still considers him a risk. Lawyers for the detained man are questioning the intelligence information, saying some of it had been taken from news reports and off the Internet.
Where it magically appeared attached to his name for no reason...

to understand just how un-magically these allegations appeared.

Just because something appears in the media does not it give it ANY substance - Type "Fake Moon Landing" into google.
