Afternoons - A podcast by RNZ - Joi

Refugee and human rights lawyer Deborah Manning was 27 years old when she took on the state as co-counsel for Ahmed Zaoui, a former Algerian MP who came to New Zealand as a refugee in 2003. After four-and-half long years and three successful court appeals, Zaoui was allowed to stay in New Zealand. This case was highly publicised and polarising, and an intense journey for Deborah. Today she looks back at the things that helped her get through.
