We can report here that two prominent pro-democracy advocates, Fiji’s ousted Vice President and former High Court Judge, Ratu Joni Madraiwiwi and human rights champion, Imrana Jalal, are among those banned by Fiji’s junta from speaking at the upcoming Pacific Youth’s festival in Fiji.
The festival’s chairperson, Jackie Koroi, is said to be controlled by the military regime and hasn’t been allowed to report on anything negative or to show any resistance to the junta’s draconian ways.
Wonder why organisers still want to hold the event in Fiji?
Move it elsewhere where youths will be free to speak their minds without fear!
