Brian Tamaki solidarity protests Following Tamaki's arrest on 17 January 2022 and subsequent remand in custody, his supporters picketed the Mount Eden Correctional Facility, setting up tents and sounding motorbike horns. The protesters were criticised by Mount Eden residents for creating noise, rubbish, and blocking public walkways in the area around the prison. In response, Police monitored the protests and liaised with the Auckland Council, Corrections Department, and the protest organisers. Between 200 and 300 supporters from Destiny Church and the Freedom and Rights Coalition camped outside Mount Eden prison until his release on 26 January 2022. On 22 January, six pastors including City Impact Church pastor Peter Mortlock objected to Tamaki's imprisonment, claiming that Government had silenced Tamaki for his dissenting views. On 26 January, High Court judge Paul Davison ruled that the decision to remand him in prison was wrong and ordered his release on bail. As part of his new bail conditions, Tamaki was barred from organising, participating and supporting future anti-lockdown protests and ordered to remain at home on a 24-hour curfew. 28 January 50 anti-vaccination protesters picketed the Christchurch Holocaust Remembrance Ceremony at the Peace Bells in the Christchurch Botanic Gardens. They refused to wear masks, heckled speakers including Labour MP Sarah Pallett and intimidated several attendees, prompting Police to intervene and speak to several demonstrators. Holocaust Centre of New Zealand chairwoman Deb Hart criticised the protesters for disrupting the Holocaust remembrance service for political purposes, describing their actions as "disgusting." 29 January A group of anti-COVID regulations protesters marched through Dunedin's Octagon, sharing the city centre with a group of Falun Gong protesters.
