Nou Ke Akua Ke Aupuni O Hawaii

Prosecuting Attorney Mitch Roth


Office of the Prosecuting Attorney
County of Hawaii
Aupuni Center
655 Kilauea Avenue
Hilo, Hawaii 96720

Subject: Dismiss all charges effective immediately.

Aloha Prosecutor Roth:


I am writing to encourage you to dismiss any remaining charges against those who acted to
protect Maunakea (Mauna a Wkea).
As you know, Judge Takase just found Kahookahi Kanuha not guilty based on his sincere belief
that he had a spiritual obligation to protect the Mauna. To continue to prosecute others, who also
acted from a similar sincere belief, would be tantamount to selective prosecution.
There is also the constitutional question of whether your office should now try to parse which
cases involve sincere spiritual beliefs and which do not. I do not think you really wish to tread
on these grounds.
There is also the Hawaii Supreme Court ruling that the permit for the Thirty Meter Telescope
(TMT) was issued in violation of the requirements for Due Process.

The United Nations Charter provides the rest of the authority to do it. (An autonomous independent sovereign nation-state contemplated
under Article 1 of the 1933 Montevideo Convention on Rights and Duties of States requiring the state as a person of international law
possessing the four qualifications of (a) a permanent population, (b) a defined territory, c) government;
and (d) capacity to enter into relations with the other states.)

That ruling means that those who were trying to stop construction of TMT while litigation was
pending were, in fact, correct that the construction was illegal.
The invalidity of the permit was compounded by the fact that the construction pursuant to that
permit would have constituted desecration of a sacred site in violation of State of Hawaii law.
HRS 711-1107.
Given all of these factors; continuing to prosecute those who legitimately believed that they were
enforcing the law verges on malicious prosecution.
Returning everyone to the status quo that existed before the illegal permit was issued is the right
thing to do.
Pupukahi i holomua. Unite to move forward.
