With just hours to go to before Avi Yemini’s book launch in Wellington last night, the Cathedral of St Paul cancelled the hall hire that Avi Yemini and *Rebel News* booked months ago.

Avi says:

> And instead of just admitting they were scared, they tried to blame me and my views – even though they knew exactly who I was when we booked the venue, and my views haven’t changed! But how do you find a new venue for hundreds of people on just a few hours notice? Well, this is New Zealand. And one thing Maori are known for is being warriors. So we asked our friend, **Pastor Brian Tamaki**, if he could help us move our Wellington event to the Destiny Church in the city. And they agreed, saving the day!

It appears that far-left extremists bombarded and harassed a female reverend at the cathedral with emails.

> Threatening a book launch with violence is no better than burning a book. It’s barbaric. And threatening a church is even lower. **This meets the dictionary definition of terrorism: violence, or the threat of violence, to achieve political goals. This is starting to be a pattern in New Zealand.**

> A few months ago, a British advocate for women’s rights, Posie Parker, was physically assaulted by left-wing activists while on tour in New Zealand. Police stood by doing nothing, and it was only after a public outcry that they finally pressed charges.  
>  
> It’s almost as if the New Zealand government condones violence – if it is against their political enemies. That’s why it’s so important that New Zealand politicians condemn this political terrorism and that New Zealand police and prosecutors investigate the threateners.
