Claims NZ isn't meeting its human rights obligations

From Midday Report, 12:47 pm on 23 June 2023

There are more claims New Zealand isn't meeting its human rights obligations because of the excessive number of Māori and Pacific people in prisons, and the way those in custody are being treated.

Amnesty New Zealand and transformational justice group JustSpeak say fresh data released by the The Human Rights Measurement Initiative show minimum entitlements aren't being met.

JustSpeak executive director Aphiphany Forward-Toua spoke to Gyles Beckford.
