Description: The cartoon shows 'The Urewera Jury Box' labelled 'Unsafe' and 'Red stickered'. Context - The Urewera 15 have sought leave to appeal to the Supreme Court over the decision to be tried by a judge rather than a jury. The trial of the 15 defendants charged in relation to the Urewera "anti-terror raids" in 2007, including activists Tame Iti and Valerie Morse, is due to begin on May 30. A defence challenge to the Court of Appeal was unsuccessful and Crown prosecutor Ross Burns confirmed the group had sought leave to appeal the decision to the Supreme Court. In October 2007 police alleged the 18 arrested participated in weapons-training camps at various spots around the country. More than 300 police officers carried out early-morning raids on several properties, including the camps.
