The first batch of refugees to arrive in the country since the border closed have now completed managed isolation.
An Eastern European porn star targeted for his sexuality and political beliefs has won a bid for refugee status in New Zealand. The man’s case came to light after an Immigration New Zealand official declined to grant him refugee status – a decision he appealed to the Immigration and Protection Tribunal. The tribunal’s recently-released decision showed the man claimed he had been subject to violence, extortion and false criminal charges in his homeland for decades.
