Motivations of the people in He Aranga Ake
John made this Official Information request to New Zealand Police
The request was refused by New Zealand Police.
From: John
Dear New Zealand Police,
Can you briefly detail the specific ideological or faith-based component (motivations detailed in Know the Signs) for which the 8 people are being interacted with under the He Aranga Ake framework?
Are they Christian? Are they Muslim? Are they Hindu? Are they Maori identitarians? Are they black identitarians? Are they white identitarians? Are they motivated by anarchism? Are they motivated by communism? Are they motivated by fascism?
These categories are purposefully vague so you can 'protect their interests and their right to a fair trial.'
Yours faithfully,
John

Tēnā koe John,
I acknowledge receipt of your Official Information Act 1982 (OIA), received 30 October 2023:
"Can you briefly detail the specific ideological or faith-based component (motivations detailed in Know the Signs) for which the 8 people are being interacted with under the He Aranga Ake framework?
Are they Christian? Are they Muslim? Are they Hindu? Are they Maori identitarians? Are they black identitarians? Are they white identitarians? Are they motivated by anarchism? Are they motivated by communism? Are they motivated by fascism?
These categories are purposefully vague so you can 'protect their interests and their right to a fair trial."
A secondary request for information (attached) was also received 30 October 2023 for:
"How many individuals do the Police monitor who fit the motivating factors of the He Aranga Ake framework (detailed in Know the Signs) but do not currently exist within the disengagement framework itself.
I'm also interested in the motivating factors for your monitoring of the individuals. Are they monitored because of their religious beliefs (Muslims, Christian, Hindu, etc.), because of their ideological beliefs (communism, anarchism, fascism, etc.), or because of their identity (white, black, Maori, etc.)?"
Police has consolidated your requested under reference IR-01-23-34649.
You can expect a response to your request on or before 27/11/2023 unless an extension is needed.
Ngā mihi,
Courtenay
