CCF: Lift Public Emergency Regulations
Wednesday, March 2, 2011
Item: 7291
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.
