October 15th Solidarity

Pre-trial applications relating to all defendants will be heard in the Auckland High court this week. All supporters welcome.

Pre-trial applications relating to all defendants will be heard in the Auckland High court this week. All supporters welcome.

There will be arguments in the High Court in Auckland on the 25th and 26th of March. At present, it appears that all of the defendants are not opposing the move of the proceeding to the High Court, so it is likely that the court appearance will be quite short.

There may be bail applications heard at this time relating to on-going conditions including repressive reporting, non-association and travel restrictions.

There will be a call-over at the Auckland District Court at 10am for all defendants. The defendants have been excused from this appearance if they have legal representation there. This will be an opportunity to evaluate the stage of various applications regarding admissibility of evidence, stay of proceedings, bail etc.

Deposition hearings for the arrestees of the October 15th 'anti-terror' raids recently ended. On October 17th the judge will release his decision as to which charges will proceed to trial. The October 15th Solidarity group in Tamaki-Makaurau are calling for a morning picket to show support and solidarity for the arrestees.
