Fleeing From Reds
THE unhappy case of Yee Shau was before the Auckland courts at the end of March.
Yee Shau, now aged 35, fought for Nationalist China against the Japs, and was wounded, and be came a Nationalist official. He earned the hatred of the Reds, and when they got power in China they hunted him away to Hong kong.
Hongkong was full of Red agents so, after a few months, he made his way to Fiji. He was 18 months in Fiji. He told the NZ authori
ties that attempts were made to assassinate him by Communist secret agents in Fiji. So he left Suva by flyingboat in May, 1951, and settled in Auckland on a 6months permit.
The authorities caught up with him and sought his deportation. He has appealed for consideration. He says that he has learned that Reds in China have blackmailed mem bers of his family and tortured them to death. He declares' that if he cannot get sanctuary in NZ, he will commit suicide in NZ, rather than be forced to return to Red China. His case comes up again on April 16.
