Yep, the death was unfortunate (photographer goes back for his gear and doesn't come back). Still, a lot of us Kiwis are still angry at what happened afterwards

Yep, the death was unfortunate (photographer goes back for his gear and doesn't come back). Still, a lot of us Kiwis are still angry at what happened afterwards (France plays hard ball and gets the agents on a French Atoll and then back to France, where they wrote books and moved up the ranks).
- omonra 14y agoYep - this I can certainly agree would make host country angry. For a story that somewhat parallels what the French did (but a WHOLE different level) check out: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ramil_Safarov http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ramil_Safarov
- Erwin 14y agoAnother tragic case: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vitaly_Kaloyev http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vitaly_Kaloyev -- he stabbed and killed the (Danish) flight controller responsible for a plane crash (in Switzerland) in which his children died; after his imprisonment ended early he returned home to North Ossetia be made deputy minister of housing.
- omonra 14y agoThis is different - " On 8 November 2007, Kaloyev was released from prison, because his mental condition was not sufficiently considered in the initial sentence." Russia did not promise to keep him in prison.
- jacquesm 14y agoNot only the Kiwis. Quite a few Dutch people remember this clearly as well.
