RNZ reports a Samoan woman recounted her experience as a victim of domestic violence at a discussion on human rights alleging serious failures by the police to enforce a protection order.
The Samoa Victim Support Group's Muliaga Teli Siliniu Lina Chang said they filed a complaint with police on behalf of the woman earlier this week.
A police spokesperson Su'a Muliaga Tiumalu said he had no knowledge of the case but would check it out.
He said protection orders are seriously enforced by the police.
