Hundreds, probably thousands of foreign students are raped in NZ each year
But only a tiny fraction of the NZ rapists ever receive punishment.
Hundreds, probably thousands of international students, mostly young Asians — Chinese, Filipina, Japanese, Korean, Malaysian, Thai… — are raped in New Zealand, with very few of the rapists ever brought to justice.
Regularly, vulnerable foreign students, speaking very little or no English, spend tens of thousands of dollars to study in New Zealand, but instead experience life-changing traumas.
[Would you send your children to study in a country where foreign students are frequently in the news for being raped?]

James Bond Class Murder Mystery
Mother of a 4-year-old girl, Irina Yun, 37, was of Korean descent, raised in Kazakhstan, and lived in Moscow before moving to New Zealand.
She left her four-year-old daughter in Auckland and traveled alone to the South Island on Christmas Day. Her backpack was found in the Mount Aspiring National Park on Monday [January 5, 2009.]
There’s something not quite right about this story. This is cloak and dagger stuff and stinks of SIS assassination games.
[A search and rescue dog handler “subsequently located a femur and pelvis bone in the river bed wedged in between some rocks approximately three kilometres down stream of the Dart Hut.” “The Dunedin Coroner, an anthropologist and pathologist have examined the remains and have been able to confirm that the remains are that of Ms Yun,” police said. The story posted at the following link has since been removed – http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/3079959/Russian-womans-remains-found%5D

Another Korean Student Killed in New Zealand
Jieun Jung, 29, a Korean PhD student, who was knocked off her scooter by a truck in Palmerston North on April 18, 2009 died in Wellington Hospital this morning.
Mrs Jung who studied at Massey University reportedly moved to Palmerston North with her husband in 2006. Her husband probably wishes they had returned to Korea instead. Unfortunately, it’s too late for her to make that move.
The police said the crash investigation is ongoing, but they can’t say if charges would be laid. After all, she was just a Korean student bound get herself killed one way or the other, whereas the driver is one of us.

New Zealand Kills Yet Another Korean Tourist
The clock stopped for a South Korean tourist who had nothing better to do than getting killed in New Zealand.
James Cho, 49, was targeted by two cars traveling in opposite directions playing the game of “who got the gook first!” on the North Shore at the weekend.
He was struck by both cars as he crossed Sunset Rd on Saturday afternoon, the nincompoop police said, and died earlier today.
The victim was reportedly staying with friends on the North Shore while on holiday in New Zealand, and was out for a walk when the rain struck.
As he crossed the road looking for shelter, he was hit by the two vehicles.
Poor Mr Cho! He had lived for 49 years without losing his life even once, but had no idea how easy it was for Koreans to get killed in New Zealand.
