Transparency needed on temporary suspension of travel says Human Rights Commission Friday, April 9, 2021 IWK Bureau
The Human Rights Commission is calling for more information on the justification behind the temporary suspension of travel from India.
“Temporarily banning New Zealanders from returning home from India is a significant limitation on their freedom of movement. Clear justification for the limitation on this basic right is vital. Regular review of the suspension is also crucial,” Chief Human Rights Commissioner Paul Hunt said.
“I’m calling for more transparency from the government about the decision to suspend travel from India for New Zealanders for the next 14 days.”

The Serpent has become a Netflix hit, a few months after it debuted on the BBC. In the drama, we see Charles Sobhraj (played by Tahar Rahim) on a crime spree that spanned many years, many countries, and numerous spells in prison (including a prison escape that allowed him to escape the death penalty in another country). The drama ends, however, with his final arrest in 2003, when for reasons unknown he returned to the one country where there was a warrant out for his arrest.

“While a public health emergency is a justification for limits to be placed on the free movement of people, any limitation on the rights of New Zealanders to return home must be clearly justified by the government in accordance with its domestic and international human rights obligations.”
