Auckland Muslim man furious about SIS surveillance

From Morning Report, 7:14 am on 26 March 2019

A Muslim man who was targeted by the SIS says he now feels furious about what happened and is accusing the security agency of unfairly targeting his community. The man, who RNZ has agreed not to name, was approached out of the blue two months before the Rugby World Cup in 2011, and asked if he had any security concerns ahead of the event. The revelations follow research from the Human Rights Foundation, which shows the SIS used informal chats and offers of payments to young men to monitor the Islamic community. And the man, who lives in Auckland, says he was not the only one. He told RNZ reporter Laura Dooney he knows of at least three others who were contacted.
