A Chinese overstayer whose wrist was broken during a dawn-raid in Auckland last year claims Immigration New Zealand created a cover-up story.
The 47-year-old man, who wants to be known as Chen, was flatting in a house in west Auckland - when eight officers raided their home around 6am.
Earlier this month, it emerged 20 people have been arrested at dawn between last July and April this year, despite the government in 2021 delivering a historic apology for the 1970s-era tactic.
Chinese nationals were the largest group affected by recent raids, making up about half of those targeted.
Our reporter Lucy Xia has the story.
