Deportation Of Indian
Sir,—The deplorable inflexibility of our immigration laws and the frightening growth of impersonal, bureaucratic processes have been starkly outlined by the extradition of Mr John Persad. The police “do not feel too good about it,” (Superintendent C. L. Scanlan). As a New Zealand citizen I am ashamed of it. I am grateful for the public opportunity of recording my utter disgust with the manner in which this matter was handled. I am forwarding a donation to Mrs Persad to assist her husband’s return—preferably, by air.—Yours, PENINSULA PETE. July 10, 1966.
