Resignation

3rd Major Court Win For Ahmed Zaoui Inspector-General Resigns

Two High Court Judges have ruled that the Inspector General of Intelligence and Security (SIS) displayed apparent bias against Ahmed Zaoui and is disqualified from reviewing the refugees case.

Justices Salmon and Harrison said factors in the apparent bias case have led them to conclude that the inspector general, Laurie Greig, should stand aside from the review of Ahmed Zaouis case.

Prime Minister Helen Clark said today that following the High Court judgment issued today, the Inspector-General of Intelligence and Security, Laurie Greig, has given written notice of his resignation to the Governor-General.
