Habeas Corpus?
by
Sheikh Kireka-Whaanga.
Habeas corpus (Latin: You (shall) have the body) is a legal action, or writ, through which a person can seek relief from the unlawful detention of him or herself, or of another person. It protects the individual from harming him or herself, or from being harmed by the judicial system.1 Reply 20 weeks
Of English origin, the writ of habeas corpus has historically been an important instrument for the safeguarding of individual freedom against arbitrary state action. A writ of habeas corpus ad subjiciendum, also known as "The Great Writ", is a summons with the force of a court order addressed to the custodian (such as a prison official) demanding that a prisoner be brought before the court, together with proof of authority, allowing the court to determine whether that custodian has lawful authority to hold that person; if not, the person shall be released from custody. The prisoner, or another person on his behalf (for example, where the prisoner is being held incommunicado), may petition the court or an individual judge for a writ of habeas corpus.
The right to petition for a writ of habeas corpus has long been celebrated as the most efficient safeguard of the liberty of the subject. -

PAST REDEMPTION - from cop killer to one of France's most respected medieval historians...
Extract from William Smith's article in History Today, January 2009 - www.historytoday.com
In his 20s, Phillipe Maurice was sentenced to death by guillotine for murdering a policeman. Saved by a change of government, he transformed himself through prison study into one of France's leading medieval historians...
On October 28th, 1980, [a] death sentence was passed at the Paris Cour d"Assizes (central criminal court), the first time the penalty had been applied in France for 17 years. In the dock stood a man of 24, Phillipe Maurice, indicted for the murder of a police officer. In summing up, the president of the court, reciting the penal code, informed the accused that 'everyone condemned to death will have their head cut off.' Justice was seen to be done, and in a scene reminiscent of a revolutionary tribunal, part of the court stood up and applauded. All that remained was for the law to take its grim course.
Staff at the prison of Fresne, Val-de-Marne, where Maurice was held, prepared the scaffold where this recalcitrant's life would soon end, by guillotine, unless his counsel could secure a presidential pardon. With hard-liner Valery Giscard d'Estaing as president, this was highly unlikely in view of public opinion at the time. 18 months previously during 1979, a wave of violent crime had shaken Paris, provoking fierce debate about capital punishment. Matters came to a head one night in early December when two gendarmes were killed in an incident near the Rue Monge on the Left Bank [La Rive Gauche]. One of the malefactors, wanted for car theft, was gunned down after shooting one of the officers. Maurice, his accomplice, had returned fire, fatally wounding a second policeman before being injured himself and arrested. 'I opened fire out of fear and killed without wanting to, for the only time in my life,' he writes in his autobiography, "De la haine a la vie" (2001).
The episode was Maurice's final undoing. It took the judge, Jean-Louis Bruguiere, just a few weeks to decide on sentence. Here was a defendant completely off the rails, the son, incredibly, of a police inspector, and brother of a car thief, for whom Maurice had served time in 1977 for aiding his escape from prison. Given the murky history of this "irrecuperable", as the judge pronounced him, exacerbated by the more serious crimes of possessing firearms and homicide, Bruguiere saw no alternative to the death penalty.
Then fate intervened with the election of Francois Mitterand as president on May 10th, 1981. The socialist Mitterand was an avowed opponent of capital punishment and an architect of radical change. When Mitterand's election victory was annonced, Maurice knew that he had been spared, his sentence commuted to life imrisonment. The future would be hard, he was well aware, for police killers were often victimised behind bars, and he would certainly be no exception...
Despite the privations and humiliations of prison life, which drove him, on more than one occasion, to the verge of suicide, Maurice applied himself to study. Learning Old French, Latin and paleography, he obtained a degree in history, later preparing a doctoral thesis, "La Famille en Gevaudan au XVe siecle, 1380 - 1483" [Family in Gevaudan in the 15th Century...]. It was overseen by the University of Tours in December 1995, and received commendation from a panel of eminent medievalists...the thesis was published by the Sorbonne [University of Paris] in 1998, and remains an authoritative work in its field.
Maurice was released in 2000 after a campaign by leading academics, and is currently head of research at the Centre de Recherches Historiques [Centre for Historical Research] in Paris, where he continues his study of family, religion and power in the late Middle Ages. He also remains active, through writing, lecturing and debating, on a cause close to his heart - the universal abolition of the death penalty and the rehabilitation of offenders in society.

A NATION INCARCERATED.
[An article written by Healani Sonoda, and included in the anthology "Asian Settler Colonialism," edited by Candace Fujikane & Jonathan Okamura (200
].
A NATION INCARCERATED.
"Rusty Old Steampipies" - Warren Ka'ahanui.
Twenty-three hours in a lifeless cell,
day after day, it's the same old hell.
Who knows why? I'd like to know.
I wish I knew the answer for this,
to release his soul from captivity.
Oh lord, hear his plea.
Show him a picture,
or give him an answer that will help him.
He wants to free his body,
he wants to free his mind.
He's been in prison too long.
Here's his song.
("Rusty Old Steampipies" is a popular Hawaiian blues song written by Warren Ka'ahanui, a kanaka Maoli inmate serving a life sentence, and was performed by the Makaha Sons of Ni'ihau).
Native Hawaiians [kanaka Maoli] are being imprisoned in alarming numbers in our own ancestral homeland, making Hawai'i's incarceration rate one of the fastest rising in the country. With increasing deportation of kanaka Maoli inmates to U.S. continental private prisons, criminalisation is yet another tool of American colonial power to control Native lands and deny kanaka Maoli sovereigny.
In 1820, the first Calvinist American missionaries arrived in Hawai'i to "civilise" kanaka Maoli by criminalising their cultural practises. At first sight, these missionaries proclaimed Hawai'i's indigenous peoples to be "savage," speculating that they had indeed found the missing link between brute and man. Imposing their perverse sense of morality upon the kanaka Maoli, they were instrumental in instituting settler laws in Hawai'i, criminalising traditional Hawaiian cultural ways, including, hula, surfing and the Native language. Hawaiians were charged with vagrancy, whereas for millenia we freely travelled to the mountains and ocean to gather food and fish. For these colonial crimes, Hawaiians were imprisoned and fined.
Though we were an independent nation, Hawai'i was colonised because of American imperial, strategic interests in the Pacific and Asia. The United States supported the illegal overthrow of our government in 1893, and stole two million acres of kanaka Maoli lands. By the time the United States annexed the Hawaiian Kingdom in 1898, white [haole] and Asian settlers outnumbered the kanaka Maoli population three to one, with Japanese [kepani]labourers constituting the largest settler group.
Today, the ratio is approximately 80% settlers to 20% kanaka Maoli. Local kepani settlers have ascended to ruling-class status and, with haole settlers, direct the American colonial system. Now a colonised people, kanaka Maoli inhabit the islands' lower socio-economic strata, with nearly half of the kanaka Maoli population classified as poor or low income. For kanaka Maoli, land is familial, the source of material, cultural and spiritual existence and political power. One devastating outcome of land dispossession today is the disproportionate rates of incarceration of kanaka Maoli adults and children.
After more than a century of violent colonial rule, poverty-stricken, landless kanaka Maoli are now stereotyped as criminals in Hawai'i. Settlers institute laws and policies to maintain their control over Hawai'i's lands and resources, warehousing kanaka Maoli into correctional facilities.
SETTLER RACISM.
"We have a race of people that find out that the lifestyle that they were accustomed to is outlawed and with a severe penalty, the prisoner is punished inside the prison and outside the prison by the government and society, the children suffer ostracism in school and society, males in prison can no longer devote time to their families...When people look at prisons, they see the highly negative aspects, like rape and murder, and don't see spitting on the sidewalk and trespassing as the crime. Society and the government are the real culprits for the victimisation and present-day situation of the Hawaiian Prisoner stereotype." - Keoni May, a form0 Comments 305 days

Project Focus Hawaii ~ www.projectfocushawaii.com
Project Focus Hawaii was established in 2005 as a means of enriching the lives of children suffering from emotional or physical problems. Through photography, like any art which can be used as a tool for healing and self-exploration, children of incarcerated women, acting as both photographers and subjects, have presented "Reawakening", a collaborative exhibtion with Ka Hale Ho'ala Hou no na Wahine and the Women's Community Correctional Centre [WCCC] on O'ahu. The project lasted 12 weeks during the summer. Photographers Laurie Callies and Lisa Uesugi made portraits of the children, who, in turn, photographed their mothers at prison, using Holga cameras. The exhibition is currently displayed at the Honolulu Hale courtyard 8am - 4.30pm weekdays, through 29 January. For more photos, see website www.projectfocushawaii.com

Me Tu Tangatawhenua tatau katoa i Aotearoa .
Kia Ora Koutou Katoa
Whaea Pare.
the saying 'We were taught His Story not Real History'.
I've been scanning the papers and truly this present governing system has as much power as you acknowledge it to have. The National Parties vision for our Future is horrific for Tangata Wenua as it involves the Sudden emergence of The International Police State with the advent of Taser usage and New Court Prison Facilities as scheduled by Balack Obumma, and a interrelated Relationship with the USA and their Vision for The World, The Declaration of Independence Oct 28 1835 is The Only Way.
I cant remember who said it or where I heard it.. probly anotha doco.. But neva have I agreed more with the following statement after watching the Opoutama doco.
'I am a stranger abroad and a pauper in my own land'
I think that doco should be compulsory in every secondary school Social Studies & History class in NZ. LOL. Very informative even for the honkeys.. especially them!! hehe. A few very good points made on that piece of film.. such as the part when that man from Ngai Tahu say's that it's just like being Colonised again but instead of countries doing the colonising its the Corporations.. and we all know who is the brunt behind all these multi million dollar corportations. Those shapeshifting reptillion bastardz!!
Nga Mihi Aroha me te Rangimarie ki a Tatou Katoa!, If anyone has any Questions or want to make enquiries to clear any misunderstandings, please do not ever Feel shy to ask, the dumbest question's are usually the best, if we do not have the answer we will still you get an answer, Ka Huri!
Yes the Rotten Attitude of the Honkey's infesting Oputama really shines through that Doco Sis, all Good because Falsehood is bound by Nature to Perish and Truth Shines on it's own HAATI (He Ao Ataahua Tipuna Intended)
I was at my nan's yesterday, went ova to bbysit my nephew.. startd flicking thru da sky channelz. Caught a good programme on the documentary channel called 'The last resort' about the closure of the Opoutama Blue Bay Motor Camp and how our land is being conned away from us and sold to rich foreign investors. It also went into the whole seabed/foreshore saga and how it was a 21st century raupatu (confiscation) as I'm sure you will know but most NZ's are unaware of. But the thing that got me was how we made an official appeal to the UN (that I was unaware of until then), claiming that the reason the Government would not give the title to the rightful tanagata whenua was because of racial discrimination, which the UN itself agreed with!! The New Zealand Government are a bunch or racist bastards!! thats my opinion
lol
Love and Light to all.
I saw on the news the other week, some northlanders be camping owtsyd parliament or sumthin.. tryna make a stand for tangata whenua.
w3ll at l3ast sum1 tryna do sumfin ay.. chur!
