Court report from Tauranga Pre-depositions hearing
29/05/08 - One of the arrestees in the state terror raids on Te Urewera has had his depositions hearing set down for 20 November 2008 in the District Court Tauranga when briefs of evidence will be handed up. One charge against Raunatiri Hunt was withdrawn by the Crown. Hunt is one of the 20 people jointly charged with attending so-called ‘paramilitary-style training camps’ in Te Urewera.
Hunt is the only one of the 20 defendants that has successfully challenged the Crown in moving the trial to Auckland. All of the other defendants have been remanded on bail until depositions hearing in the Auckland District Court starting on 1 September. These hearings are expected to last one month to six weeks.
If the charges are not thrown out, any trial would be unlikely to happen before the end of 2009 due to backlogs in the Auckland District Court.

Les 20 peuples qui ont été arrêtés dans les incursions du 15 Octobre 2007 sont tout libres maintenant et des frais sous la législation anti-terroriste ne seront pas étendus. Cependant, 16 personnes - activistes indigènes, anarchistes, environnementaux et pacifistes - sont encore chargés pour la possession des armes.
