FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda The Commonwealth says Fiji’s decision to lift its draconian emergency laws is a positive step but the country now needs to move towards “credible elections”.
Fijian Prime Minister Frank Bainimarama has announced his interim government’s public emergency regulations will be lifted on Saturday.
Commodore Bainimarama said the lifting of the laws – introduced in April 2009 – would open the way for a nationwide consultation for a new constitution, beginning next month, to establish a democratically elected government.
Commonwealth Secretary-General Kamalesh Sharma said on Tuesday the lifting of emergency law was “a positive step which was long overdue”.
Mr Sharma said he hoped the national consultations would include everyone and “lead to a genuine national consensus on the constitution clearing the way for credible elections and the return of a democratically elected government without further delay”.
The military government of 2006 coup leader Commodore Bainimarama overturned Fiji’s constitution in 2009, imposing emergency rule after the nation’s Court of Appeal ruled the military government was illegal.
The public emergency regulations gave police and the military extended powers, imposed tough censorship on the South Pacific nation’s media and tightly controlled public assembly.
