	Ahmed Zaoui - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ahmed Zaoui is an Algerian refugee who sought residency in New Zealand in 2002.
		Zaoui was treated with great suspicion by New Zealand authorities, primarily on the recommendations of the New Zealand Security Intelligence Service, which will not reveal its reasons but may be influenced by his convictions in Europe.
		Zaoui has a wife and four children, who are currently in Southeast Asia and who will join him in New Zealand if the security risk certificate is lifted and he is allowed to remain in New Zealand.

	Ahmed Zaoui
		Ahmed Zaoui, an Algerian Islamic politician, was held in custody for slightly more than two years since he was arrested upon arrival, in Auckland, in December 2002.
		Zaoui’s plight has become a national cause celebre, and there is any number of appalling aspects to it (such as the racist and shoddy Immigration laws and procedures exposed for all to see).
		Since this was written, Zaoui has won his bail case, and TVNZ won the right to hold the first media interview with him, done while he was still in prison and broadcast hours before he was released, in December 2004.

	BBC - h2g2 - Ahmed Zaoui - Refugee from Terror
		Zaoui is an Algerian, and had been in exile from his country since 1992, when the regime there had cancelled the elections which his party, the FIS looked certain to win However, he cannot return to Algeria, because he faces torture, or death, maybe both.
		On the 9th of December 2004, the NZ Supreme Court ruled that Ahmed Zaoui must be released on bail, after the Crown admitted that Mr Zaoui, who spent his 44th birthday, December 7th, at the Auckland Remand Prison, did not constitute any danger of violence.
		After Mr Zaoui's release on bail, the next step was the first of many returns to court.For the first time, Mr Zaoui was present himself; for so long, he had had to sit in prison, while his lawyers argued in his absence.

		Ahmed Zaoui is an Algerian academic, elected MP, and refugee who seeks asylum in New Zealand from a ruling Algerian military regime that in absentia sentenced him to death for alleged security crimes.
		But Dr Harrison asserted that the time Zaoui has spent in prison and the possibility that he may continue to be imprisoned for some time is unacceptable, particularly considering his non-voluntary segregation, and the alleged misconduct by prison guards, contributes to the “unacceptability” of Zaoui’s ongoing detention.
		The Human Rights Commission said: “The fact that the plaintiff (Zaoui) was detained for a significant period of time in a penal institution with convicted criminals while awaiting determination of his refugee status contravenes the relevant international standards relating to the refugees and the interpretation of those standards by international bodies,” the HRC said.

		Ahmed ZAOUI arrived in New Zealand on 4 December 2002, having attempted to destroy a false South African passport en route.
		In the joint Police/SIS interview Mr ZAOUI was questioned about the videotape he had made during his journey overland from Malaysia via Thailand and Laos to Viet Nam.
		Consistent with this, it is a government objective to ensure that New Zealand is neither the victim nor the source of acts of terrorism or other activities of security concern, and to prevent New Zealand from being or becoming a safe haven for people who have undertaken, or may be intending to undertake, such activities.

		Lawyers acting for Ahmed Zaoui today announced that he is seeking a High Court judicial review of adverse rulings by the Inspector-General of Intelligence and Security.
		Mr Zaoui’s lawyers advised that the Inspector-General last week made two rulings which, it is considered, will operate to Mr Zaoui’s serious disadvantage in relation to the review.
		The practical effect of the first of the rulings is that Mr Zaoui will not be provided with adequate information as to the nature of the alleged threat or danger which the Director of Security has asserted his presence poses to the security of New Zealand.

		In Ahmed Zaoui's case, the Supreme Court has considered at what stage Mr Zaoui's human rights ought to be considered, and by whom.
		Through his lawyers, Mr Zaoui argued that torture and/or extrajudicial execution is a likely consequence of a New Zealand government order to deport Mr Zaoui to Algeria, and that the Inspector General is the best person to evaluate this aspect rather than a Minister of Immigration.
		Mr Zaoui's team challenged the Attorney General on a premise that of the two potential decision-makers — the Inspector- General and the Minister of Immigration - there is "simply no contest" as to who is the more superior when one considers an evaluative process.

		Mara: The unfortunate irony of Ahmed Zaoui's case, is that because he is a moderate, he is in danger from Islamic extremists in an Islamic country.
		Ahmed Zaoui is somewhat hindered by the complexity of his case; it is easy to present selectively facts that appear incrimination.

		They are the reason that Ahmed Zaoui is being held in prison with a security risk certificate, even though the Refugee Status Appeal Authority (RSAA) has declared that he is a genuine refugee.
		As a result of this argument, Zaoui was held in solitary confinement for a staggering 10 months and, 14 months after his initial detention, continues to be detained in jail.
		In fact, Zaoui’s lawyers are calling ex-members of the Algerian secret service to testify that Zaoui is and was not a member of the GIA, but a victim of political persecution.

		Ahmed Zaoui is however a leading member of the political party the FIS (Front Islamique du Salut), which has always advocated non-violent, political opposition to Algeria’s brutal military regime.
		Ahmed Zaoui is a democratically-elected parliamentarian in exile from his homeland Like many Algerian believers in democracy, including many members of the FIS, Mr Zaoui was forced to leave Algeria because of government persecution.
