SUVA: Fiji’s
Citizens' Constitutional Forum says the Public Emergency
Regulations need to be lifted so proper political dialogue
can start.
The PER were implemented in April 2009, and
were to have been lifted when the media decree came in last
year, but were not.
The forum’s head, the Reverend
Akuila Yabaki, says the regulations are an infringement on
people’s right to participate in the process of reforming
the country’s political
process.
