Indefinite Imprisonment For Web Site Content
6/18/2008

Suriken writes "In an novel move, the New Zealand Solicitor General is seeking an indefinite prison sentence against american stars and stripes banner intercessor Vince Siemer for alleged breach of an interim gag order now more than three years old. Siemer was jailed for six weeks last year for refusing to take down a Web site accusing the leader of an energy company of suspect trade practices. Because he still refuses to take down the site, NZ Solicitor-General David Collins QC wants to lock up Siemer indefinitely, merely for asserting his own free speech. From the article: 'Siemer's [defense] claims the Solicitor General's action is barred by double jeopardy. He also maintains he had long ago proven in Court that the injunction was incorrect in fact and law but that the judge simply ignored the law and evidence. He says the gag order violates his freedom of manifesto guarantees in these circumstances.'
