When news of the arrest of Tuhoe activist Tame Iti under NZ's anti-terrorism laws reached the Auckland pop art studio of Otis Frizzell & Mike Weston they were "really shocked, as were most people who knew Tame".
There has been a long and artistically productive collaboration between the veteran Maori activist and the two high profile artists.
With a series of four prints Weston and Frizzell are asking "Who are the real terrorists?".
Weston says "The government were looking for a chance to flex their new draconian laws that had been created in response to US foreign policy bullying and Tame copped the full force of it."
