Human rights groups and Opposition parties are calling on the Government to launch a thorough investigation into the fate of Saudi Arabian refugees who may have been returned home under duress after converting to Christianity.

If any agents of a foreign government or other group were making attempts to threaten, pressure or abduct any asylum claimant, this would be an international incident of the most serious proportions,” spokesman Gary Poole said.

The Auckland man’s lawyer, Roger Chambers, said his client was snatched off the street by three men just days before his refugee interview, taken to Auckland Airport and flown home. Chambers said the man had since made contact with friends, saying he had been threatened with beheading.

The Star-Times revealed that friends of two Saudi men, one in Christchurch and the other in Auckland, believed they had been forced to leave New Zealand against their will.

The then-Ethnic Affairs Minister Judith Collins refused to comment, saying it was a matter for police. Tolley said police "have not raised any concerns about issues such as these".

What is serious is the absolute deafening silence from the current government on the matter of Saudi agents operating in New Zealand.

Saudi Arabia's actions are and should be taken as an act of aggression against another sovereign country and be dealt with this in mind.

This should be making headline news yet only one paper carried the story - stuff. Help hold this government accountable for allowing Saudi agents to operate covertly within New Zealand without fear of any action being taken against them.
