Pair at centre of Urewera terror raids seek pardon

The two men sent to prison on firearms convictions after the 2007 Tuhoe raids are seeking pardons. On the tenth anniversary of their arrests both Tame Iti and Rangikaiwhiria Kemara want to pursue a royal perogrative of mercy. A decade ago hundreds of armed police carried out raids across six locations, including the Tuhoe village of Ruatoki under the controversial Terrorism Suppression Act, arresting 17 people. Rangikaiwhiria Kemara was one of them and told his story to our Maori Issues Correspondent Mihingarangi Forbes.
