Matt Wilson alleged being threatened
In a statement this afternoon, Wilson alleges that he received a telephone call early on March 14th which according to Wilson was immediately after Leung had also received a threat call from someone.
He said the article drafted by Leung was critical of the interim regime and developments in Fiji. Wilson said at Leung's request he strengthened the section on the media and included references to the inquiry into the tax affairs of the interim Minister for Finance Mahendra Chaudhry.
According to Wilson he did some basic editing.
Wilson claims that the caller warned him to be careful and watch out and said we know what you are doing. Wilson said the caller also told him that they have intercepted his letter to the Fiji times before hanging up.
Wislon said he protested strongly about what had happened to a senior military officer who told him he would make some enquiries and also speak to the Commissioner of Police.
However, when contacted this afternoon by Fijivillage news Wilson said he cannot confirm if he has a caller ID system in place to prove that the call had infact come from the Military.
Wilson maintains that he suspects the call was from the Military as the person spoke in a similar tone as when Leung was called up.
