Ahmed Zaoui update

So, what does our supposedly "pro-human rights" government do when faced with a court decision which upholds human rights and affirms a wide-ranging right of judicial review? Appeal, of course.

The government's actions in the Zaoui case are getting more disgusting by the day. They've invested so much in keeping him in prison and trying to throw him out that they now face serious damage if he is released or allowed to stay. And so they find themselves selling out their basic values in order to avoid admitting they were wrong...

As for the Supreme Court, other than Donna Awatere-Huata, it looks like it may be Zaoui all the way...
