Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Ko ngā mātua o tētahi tangata nō Aotearoa, i hereherea mō te whakatakoto i tētahi kōrero mō Buddha, kua whakaatu i ngā āhuatanga whakamataku kei te pāngia e tō rātau tama i roto i te whare herehere o Myanmar. Kua whakarewahia e Brian rāua ko Angela Blackwood o Wellington tētahi petihana ipurangi hei pakanga mō te herekore o Philip Backwood, e kī ana kua whakawakia hētia tō rāua tama me ōna hoa. Kua whakakitea e rātau tō rātau mamae i a rātau e kore nei e taea te āwhina i tō rātau tama, e whakawhiwhia ana ki ngā āhuatanga nanakia i roto i te whare herehere Insein rongonui o Yangon. Kua whiua ia ki te rua me te hawhe tau te herehere. Kua puritia ia i roto i te whare herehere mai i tana hopu i te Hakihea. 'Ka moe ia i runga i te papa rakau, kaore he moenga e whakaaetia, kaore he moenga, kaore he urunga,' i kii a Brian ki a ABC. E whakaaetia ana ia kia kite i tana wahine i whakaipoipo ai, a Noemi Alamo, me ta raua tamahine e whitu marama te pakeke, kotahi haora anake ia rua wiki. Panuku ki raro mō te ataata. Ko Philip Blackwood (C) e kawea ana e nga pirihimana ki te whakawakanga a te kooti i Yangon. I whiua a Blackwood me ōna hoa mahi e rua o Myanmar ki te rua me te hawhe tau i te whare herehere mō te whakamahi i tētahi whakapakoko o Buddha hei whakatairanga i ngā inu iti. E rua wiki ki muri i herea te kaiwhakahaere o te pae me ona hoa mahi Myanmar e rua mo te rua me te hawhe tau me te mahi pakeke e te kooti o Yangon mo te whakamahi i te ahua o Buddha ki te whakatairanga i te po inu iti. Heoi, kua whakakorea te whiu mahi pakeke a Blackwood i te mea he tangata ke ia. Ko te panui i whakairihia ki Facebook i te marama o Tihema i puta ai te riri o te whenua i whakahaerehia i mua, i reira ka piki haere te mana whenua Buddhist me te tutu whakapono kua puta te awangawanga o te ao. Ko Philip Blackwood, e mahi ana i te wharekai VGastro i Yangon, i kitea he hara mo te whakahawea i te haahi, i muri i te whakairinga a te New Zealander i tetahi whakaahua whakaari o te Buddha e mau ana i nga taringa DJ i runga i a Facebook <unk> e pa ana ki tetahi waitohu karapu rongonui o te ao. E tautokohia ana ngā tangata tokotoru kua whakawakia e te maha o ngā rōpū mana tangata, tae atu ki a Amnesty International me Human Rights Watch. Kua whakahe te rōpū i te whakataunga a te kōti, ā, i tono mō te tuku i a Mr. Blackwood...
I whiua a Piripi Blackwood ki te rua tau me te hawhe ki te whare herehere me te mahi pakeke. I whakamahia e ia he whakaahua hinengaro o Buddha e 'whakamate ana i te karakia' Kua tīmata ōna mātua i tētahi petihana ki te pakanga mō tōna herekore. E tautokohia ana e Amnesty International me ētahi atu rōpū Tika Tangata. E moe ana a Blackwood i runga i tētahi papa rākau, kāore he moenga, he whāriki, he urunga rānei. Ka taea e te tangata o Aotearoa te kite i tana wahine me tana tamahine kotahi anake ia rua wiki. He nui ngā āwangawanga mō tōna hauora ā-tinana, ā-hinengaro hoki. Ko tana hoa mahi a Tun Thurein, 40, a Htut Ko Ko Lwin, 26, i mauheretia hoki. Kua raru a Myanmar i nga mahi tutu whakapono i roto i nga tau kua hipa. Kua kite te whakahāwea toto i ngā mōneke pakeke e tautoko ana i ngā ture hou tautohetohe.
