Admission of war criminals to NZ

Mohammed Khan made this Official Information request to Ministry of Business, Innovation & Employment

The request was refused by Ministry of Business, Innovation & Employment.

From: Mohammed Khan

Dear Ministry of Business, Innovation & Employment,

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 ( https://www.propublica.org/article/afgha... ), 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?

Kind regards,
Mohammed Khan

Dear INZ OIAs,

Let me be entirely clear.

Mr Richard Owen is stating that there is no public interest consideration in the New Zealand public knowing whether operatives of an organization that, according to ProPublica, an establishment media source sympathetic to the American occupation of Afghanistan:
"mowed down men, women and children, some as young as 2, who had no discernible connection to terrorist groups"
are roaming freely in New Zealand, menacing our children? I can only presume that Mr Owen is childless, and dislikes other people's children. Can you direct this to a more responsible party? I would certainly hope that Carolyn Tremain doesn't think- unlike Owen- that killing two year old children is a joke.

Yours sincerely,
Mohammed Khan
