The Fiji Times newspaper has three months to change owners, or it will be forced to cease operations.

AUCKLAND ( The NZ Herald/Pacific Media Watch ): No doubt it can be tiring for democracies as they fight to ostracise, shame and sanction dictatorships around to their own way of thinking. The despots are seldom for turning.

Amnesty International Aotearoa New Zealand has renewed its call for the New Zealand Government to ensure human rights are included in any dialogue with Fiji.

Aiyaz Khaiyum’s childish reaction to the non-issuance of a NZ visa to one of his illegal puppet high court judge shows just how much that visa denial means to him, the lady judge who obviously complained to Adolf Khaiyum, and those other members of his mickey mouse judiciary who knowingly took illegal oaths since the purported abrogation of the 1997 Constitution by team Frank. It’s another harsh reminder to Aiyaz and his unethical law-breaking judiciary followers that committing treason is a v

Luck is running out for all these coup apologists….especially with the national kitty running dry very quickly. You don’t have to be a genius to figure this out….unless of course you are the illegal RBF Governor who appears to be so clueless that the economy is in dire straits. Throw in Sereana Qoro, Aisake Taito, the illegal PS Finance, the illegal Minister for Finance etc etc and you have a potent cocktail of economic and financial disaster waiting to happen. And lest we forget, Mahen Ch

I agree with one of the bloggers that the military is the the root cause of all the Coup evil in Fiji. Fiji does not need to reform of our security services that appears to be throwing the stone in a glass house by pointing fingers at the corrupt politicians but also political reform as well. It is not right for a dictator to try and put right political process when he himself has been declared by the Court to be wrong and in the process there is trail of wrong that needs to be put right. We pro

Fiji is far too important to be left out of the Pacific Islands equation. This week's Pacific Forum leaders' annual meeting in Cairns has regional trade and the global financial crisis on its main agenda. Fiji - which has dominated...

I would put on record here again what I previously posted when “Frank’s shifty position” was under consideration. It is not just one church, the Methodists, but it is a matter for all Christian citizens to seek justice. A church that forgets to encourage its members in that calling has not only forgotten what the mandate for the church is they have forgotten who Jesus Christ is. If the Roman Catholics of Fiji follow Ro Teimumu’s Christian example and demand, as they should, that meetings of th

As true as the statement may be in a general sense, you have personalised it. We say ? this is the posting being referred to: An opinion As a long-time observer of Fijian affairs, who wrote about 400 Fiji-related articles on Wikipedia, I have long been mystified by the behaviour of the Mara children. What I?m about to say may not be the whole truth, but there is one that most of the media just don?t get: In the 2000 coup, Adi Koila was kidnapped by Speight?s thugs and held hostage

If it walks like a dictator, if it quacks like a dictator and if it looks like a dictator, then it must be a dictator. That’s about the only concrete fact to emerge from Frank Bainimarama’s one-hour television interview with the program, Dateline, on Australia’s SBS Television on Sunday night 26 July 2009. With his pathologically self-centred, often boastful claims (example: “I will fight anyone”) Frank Bainimarama unambiguously projected himself as a tin-pot dictator of the first order. O

By VICTOR LAL Coup Four and a Half is reporting that a group of Indo-Fijian lawyers of Muslim origin and a Hindu lawyer are pressurizing Fiji Law Society President Doorsami Naidu to go along with the illegal Attorney-General in appointing local lawyers as judges. If these local lawyers take up appointments to the Bench on the flimsy ground that the court system has been closed since April, than God help interpret the meaning of rule of law in Fiji to these bunch of Muslim lawyers and one of

The spirit of democracy is ruling the waves of the Pacific with the suspension of Fiji from full participation in the affairs of the 16-nation Pacific Islands Forum. Or, so it seems. The two-week-o

It is indeed a sad day for Fiji when supposedly highly knowledgable Fiji citizens, tasked to play god in determining the rights and the wrongs of plaintiffs and defendants have turned out to be wolves in sheep skin themselves. The nine individuals who took their seditious oaths yesterday no doubt believe that, “yep, this is it, this is the new Fiji we were silently envious about, never you mind the treachery involved to get there and, no worries, there’s nine of us, add to that the more than f

  By VICTOR LAL The new Judicial Decree announced by the illegal Attorney-General and treasonist Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum removes the Fiji Law Society president from the process of appointing the new judges. But since the Fiji Law Society has not been disbanded nor has Khaiyum and other treasonist lawyers withdrawn their membership of the FLS, they must be subjected to the society’s disciplinary rules. In a recent column, I raised the question whether there was conspiracy between Shaista Shameem
