Open Letter

We are asking all good people of conscience to co-sign their name to the below Open Letter. The letter calls on relevant international bodies and non-governmental agencies to take immediate action to endorse and preserve the human rights and liberty of Suzie and her children, and to protect them from being thrust back into the waiting arms of her persecutors. Once you have read and signed the letter, please share it with friends, colleagues and family to help us protect this brave Kiwi journalist. Thank you


We, the undersigned, have reviewed the overwhelming evidence of New Zealand journalist Suzie Dawson’s political persecution as posted on this website and call on international bodies and NGO's to step up and advocate for the protection of Suzie and her family from this persecution.

It is unacceptable that a young mother and her children have been subjected to extreme psychological distress after years of targeting and harassment by the very entities Suzie held to account through her journalistic work and activism. Suzie and her children deserve, at the very least, to live free of this persistent abuse.

Due to a combination of discrimination based on Suzie's country of origin and her association with other high value targets, neglect and lack of resource, Suzie and her family are effectively in limbo and require urgent intervention from appropriate parties in order to resolve their situation in a way that reinforces and is consistent with their human rights.

Suzie Dawson is not and has never been a threat to the public but rather a peaceful, pro-democratic activist whose journalistic work has been published on three continents, in multiple languages, and is of a great benefit to the public. We therefore exhort you to provide Suzie Dawson and her young family the support and advocacy necessary to ensure that they are protected from the powerful entities that have demonstrated repeatedly that they will stop at nothing to harm her.

 These people in these governments that are attacking people like Suzie, Julian, Chelsea, are so acutely aware, that they themselfs will be in the dock, for nothing less then commiting warcrimes, very fucking soon, that they don't even bother to worry anymore, about being prosecuted for crimes against ordinairy people like Suzie !

 I may owe my life to Suzie. After decades of investigation as a T.I., I believe she uncovered the truth. By validating my personal experiences she gave me the strength to move forward with my goals and aspirations and family life. I am nearly 70 years old and she is one of the top five individuals whose work helped define who I am and how I act during the remaining years of my life. If that is not good journalism, I don’t know what is.

 If you didn't know that the state sponsors ruthless but deniable persecutions of its own civilian citizens, then you may not believe that this stuff happens at all. If you do know about how this works then no doubt you will be too afraid to help Suzie. Is their any place safe for her and her family? Will anyone help her and is there anyone strong enough to, help her. Or is the destruction of this sick growth industry the only solution. Maybe you big tough guys persecuting a single mother and her children ought to offer her a huge payout and apologise before its too late.

 The war on dissent and the targeting of journalists and activists puts at risk everything we all hold dear: democracy, freedom, human rights and rule of law. If we leave those in the crosshairs hung out to dry, we do so at our own risk. This is about more than just one woman. It is about the rights and freedoms we take for granted, but which, as Suzie knows, are being rapidly eroded around the world. No one should have to go on the run for holding power accountable. That is why I support Suzie's plea for asylum.
