Dear Mohammed,

 

On behalf of the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment I
acknowledge your email of the 22^nd of January 2023 requesting under the
Official Information Act 1982 (the Act), the following:

 

“Kindly direct this inquiry to 'Immigration NZ'. In the wake of the
collapse of the collaborationist regime in Afghanistan, many sickening
revelations have been made about the crimes committed against civilians by
various paramilitary units of the former regime, particularly the
so-called "zero units" of the "National Directorate of Security", the
kill-squads of the collaborationist regime's CIA-trained internal spy
service (

), but also the so-called "Afghan National Army Commando" units. Given New
Zealand's commitment to human rights, and the danger that seasoned killers
of innocent civilians pose to the New Zealand public: 1) Have former
militants of the "National Directorate of Security" been allowed to
immigrate to New Zealand? 2) Have former militants of the "Afghan National
Army Commando Corps" been allowed to immigrate to New Zealand?”

 

Your request is being processed in accordance with the Act and a response
will be sent to you in due course.

 

If you have any enquiries regarding your request, or its urgency, feel
free to contact us via email at [2][MBIE request email].
