Wairere Iti: Tuhoe raids 10 years on

From Sunday Morning, 7:32 am on 15 October 2017

Today marks 10 years since police swooped on the people of Tuhoe on a Monday morning in the Urewera raids. None of the 17 people arrested ended up facing charges under the Terrorism Suppression act although four were found guilty in 2012 of illegally possessing firearms. Two of those spent time in prison including activist Tame Iti who was inside for 9 months. His son Wairere Iti reflects on that time.
