More serious charges are to be laid against five of the people already due to stand trial after the high profile police raids last year.
Earlier in October, 17 people were committed to stand trial on various charges of illegally possessing firearms, ammunition or explosives.
The Crown says Tame Iti, Tuhoi Lambert, Emily Bailey, Urs Signer and Whiri Kemara have now been charged with participation in a criminal group, which carries a sentence of up to five years imprisonment.
One of the groups supporting those arrested in the raids, the Justice Now Collective, says the move is a desperate attempt by the Crown to save face after its failure to bring charges under the Terrorism Suppression Act.

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.
