NZ is supporting terrorism

Press release: Peace Action Wellington

11 December, 2003



'The death of six more children in Afghanistan, killed by the United States in a bombing 

raid is a clear evidence that the so-called 'War on Terrorism' is a war on Muslim people 

and anyone who opposes US interests.' said Peace Action Wellington member Valerie Morse.



'New Zealand is actively supporting the occupation of both Afghanistan and Iraq now. In 

Afghanistan, we are serving directly under the Americans. In Iraq, we are serving under 

the British. In both cases, it is clear that the brutal violence being perpetrated by 

the occupying armies is actually state terrorism.'



'Helen Clark claims to be committed to the reconstruction of these countries. It is very 

difficult to understand how supporting people who are murdering children could be construed 

as reconstructing anything.'



Peace Action Wellington demands an immediate end to support for the 'War on Terrorism' and 

a return of NZDF personnel.
