| Subject: NZ: Group allegedly training for armed revolution has been seen in court Tue Feb 14, 2012 3:52 am | |
| At the High Court in Auckland this morning, Tame Iti, Emily Bailey, Te Rangikaiwhiria Kemara and Urs Signer - the "Urewera four" - were accused of being the ringleaders of the group.
They have pleaded not guilty to charges of illegal possession of firearms and participation in an organised criminal group.
Crown lawyer Ross Burns said during his opening address this morning that the group set up camps and engaged in "military-style" activities - training to kill for their cause of Maori governance of the Tuhoe region.
The camps were alleged to have taken place over the course of almost a year.
Burns said police had observed camps in November 2006, and January, April, June, August, September and October of 2007.
They are alleged to have taken place at various places in the Ruatoki area, not far from Whakatane.
