The Migrant Workers Association is defending its graphic protest, in which a dummy of Winston Peters was beheaded with a guillotine near Auckland's downtown train station.
The display in Te Komititanga square aimed to challenge the Foreign Minister telling a Chinese Green MP to 'go back home'.
Peters has called for action against the mock execution.
But Association President Anu Kaloti's reiterating that this was purely satire.
