We are reminded that we live in the shadow of a power that chooses to control the way in which information and communication is developed and delivered on the eve of Media Freedom Day.
These are the words of Femlink Pacific Coordinator Sharon Bhagwan-Rolls who said this does not provide the political platform for peace and stability and the current leaders must be reminded that you cannot shake hands with a clenched fist.
The SDL party National Director, Peceli Kinivuwai said it’s sad to see that authorities have disregarded the court order.
And Ousted Opposition leader Mick Beddoes said the interim government should practice what they are preaching.
The Pacific Islands News Association has deplored the action of the Interim Government to deport Fiji Time Publisher Evan Hannah on the eve of World Media Freedom Day.
PINA President Joseph Ealedona said this action is a blatant attack on the freedom of the media in Fiji.
He said the arrest and deportation is clearly calculated to intimidate and silent voices that criticize the government. He is calling on the Interim Prime Minister to stick to his promise of upholding media freedom.
