- Description
An old soldier wearing all his medals attends a memorial service on ANZAC day when suddenly his umbrella is wrecked by a blast of icy wind. Text reads 'SAS allegations'. Context - over ANZAC Day weekend 2011 journalist Jon Stephenson revealed on TVNZ's Marae programme that he has uncovered more details about the Special Forces work in Afghanistan. "My sources in Afghanistan, and other places, are very, very clear we are very involved in arresting prisoners and transferring those prisoners to Afghans, who are likely to torture those prisoners," he told Marae. New Zealand's defence force rules, and international laws, say troops cannot hand over prisoners to another country if there is evidence they will be tortured or mistreated. But Stephenson said since 2001 the SAS has been forced to ignore these rules. "New Zealand and New Zealand soldiers have been involved, some would say complicit in human rights abuses in Afghanistan since our first deployment began in 2001, and certainly continuing today."
