Vigil today

Like many members of Auckland's all-too-small 'activist community', I have met Harmeet Sooden, who is one of the four hostages being held in Iraq by an outfit mistitling itself the Swords of Righteousness. There is a vigil for Harmeet and the other hostages being held tomorrow at six o'clock in Aotea Square. Here is the statement from the vigil organisers, which should say everything that needs to be said about the absurdity of the claim that Harmeet and his friends are 'spies'.
