Indefinite Imprisonment For Web Site Content

Suriken writes "In an unprecedented move, the New Zealand Solicitor General is seeking an indefinite prison sentence against American businessman Vince Siemer for alleged breach of an interim gag order now more than three years old. Siemer was jailed for six weeks last year for refusing to take down a Web site accusing the chairman of an energy company of suspect business practices. Because he still refuses to take down the site, NZ Solicitor-General David Collins QC wants to lock up Siemer indefinitely, merely for asserting his own free speech. From the article: 'Siemer's [defense] claims the Solicitor General's action is barred by double jeopardy. He also maintains he had long ago proven in Court that the injunction was incorrect in fact and law but that the judge simply ignored the law and evidence. He says the gag order violates his freedom of expression guarantees in these circumstances.' Here's more coverage from an NZ television station."

    When I see posts with "HEIL HITLER" being modded up, I know the new age has arrived.

    I see the hope of the Palestinian people having their own country for the first time in the 21st century.

    I see the plan of the Jew World Domination is once again defeated.

    I see the rise of the new civilization ... the Asian civilization.

    there are so many anti-USA sentiment right now because most of them know the U.S. Government is a zionist-occupied government.

    Most humorous post today! Also true.

    Not "HEIL HITLER!" -- > HEIL CHENEY. Cheney's no-bid contract Halliburton is rapidly building prisons. Obviously someone has a plan to use them.

    Cheney is planning to invade Iran. A lot of people are saying that Cheney plans martial law. Prepare for living in a military dictatorship.

    People with plenty of political experience are saying Cheney plans to attack the U.S. and claim that it was Iran that attacked. (false flag operation)

    Hitler is indeed the only solution to the world foremost problem - the International Jew. We must endeavor to clone the Fuhrer from his ashes and bring him back from the dead so that he may lead us into a glorious new age of enlightenment and greatness. Only Hitler has the macht to take on the challenges we are faced with today and emerge the victor. He was beaten before only because the International Jew managed to unite both the forces of capitalism and communism against him. That will not happen a second time. The second coming of Hitler shall be victorious over all nations and peoples.

    HITLER UBER ALLES!

    so I am not really surprised by this. They have big posters of Peter Jackson on all the buildings instead of Kim Jung Ill, but more cannibalism and sheep.

    You honour: I murdered 14 children, 8 pregnant women, six kittens and a partridge residing in some kind of fruit bearing tree. I admit it, I did it. I enjoyed it. However, you may not have me executed because it would infringe my right you continue speaking freely.
