[pima.nius] Samoa Media Alert: Samoan Overstayers removed from NZ illegally.

Talofa Media,

New Zealand's former Immigration and Minister of Pacific Island Affairs, the
Honourable Tuariki Delamere will arrive in Apia on Thursday 27 August to
speak to a public forum about the New Zealand Supreme Court decision last
month which confirmed many Samoan overstayers were illegally removed from
New Zealand.

Tuariki Delamere says the Supreme Court's ruling appears to provide a
pathway for those overstayers to return to New Zealand; and for the New
Zealand citizen's who were affected by the removal of their parents or
spouse to sue for compensation.

While in Samoa Tuariki Delamere also hopes to meet with Samoa Government
Ministers to brief them on the New Zealand Supreme Court decision as it
appears to affect many hundred of Samoan citizens.

Local media are invited to a press conference at Aggies Hotel in Apia on
Friday 28th August at 10 am to meet and interview the Hon. Tuariki Delamere
before his scheduled meetings.

For local radio and TV media requesting studio interviews, please contact
Mr. Savea Leuluaialii Al Harrington Lavea by email: lesera@xtra.co.nz before
Thursday to confirm availability slot.

Please find attached Press Release for your appropriate actions and contact
details.
