March to Free Fiji - Gather at Albert Park, Suva

Friay 4th March 2011

FRIDAY THE 4TH OF MARCH, BE AT THE ALBERT PARK, TO TELL BAINIMARAMA AND HIS REGIME, WE HAVE HAD ENOUGH. WE WANT OUR FREEDOM AND A GOVERNMENT WE CHOOSE OURSELVES.

The SDL office was raided yesterday and Poseci Bune (left picture) is at QEB.  Unsure if he will go through the same treatment as Sam Speight, (right picture) but the terrorising of the people has intensified.

This will not deter the protest and our fight to liberate our country, some have been hurt along the way, some, unfortunately have passed on, trying to tell the world the message, that Fiji needs help, like mataqali Rauluni.

These tragedies, and hurt felt by a lot of families, must not be ignored by us who are carrying on the fight.  We must fight on behalf of the weak and cry out with loud voices on behalf of the voiceless.

There is only 5 days left and if you are going to be idle, if you are going to wait till 2014, if you are going to bow to the demands of oppressors, "what will become of our image - which translates to country and freedom ?"

There is a barrier that one must break and overcome, the one of FEAR, many don't find the courage to break it.  It takes tremendous amounts of courage to get past this wall, but once you are through it, you can change your life.

Fiji Dictator Bainimarama Scared of Real Truth about 2006 Coup in DVDs

Posted on Coup Four Point Five - 26 FEBRUARY 2011

The DVD that scares Bainimarama

This is the DVD that led to military soldiers beating former SDL Cabinet Minister, Sam Speight, with their rifle butts.

It was compiled by the Fiji Democracy and Freedom Movement (FDFM) in Australia, and aims to set right the lies and the myths of the illegal regime about the 2006 coup.

Presented by New South Wales-based freedom advocate, Suliasi Daunitutu, the DVD has been available on Utube and has been circulating among supporters for some months.

Daunitutu's credible message obviously scares the hell out of Bainimara, otherwise his goons would never have gone after Speight.

There's nothing like the truth to unsettle, eh?

Click on the links below to watch the first part of the Daunitutu interview in 6 parts. We will post the second lot as we go.

Speight: Military pissed about pro-democracy DVD - 25 FEBRUARY 25, 2011

The former Fiji politician, Sam Speight, has told Pacific Beat how he was picked up by military soldiers while he was working at the headquarters of the SDL Party of deposed prime minister Laisenia Qarase on Wednesday night.

The army officers were in civilian clothes and took him to the Queen Elizabeth barracks where he was kicked and beaten with rifle butts.

Here is the transcript of the Sam Speight interview with Radio Australia's Bruce Hill.

TIKONISAU: Yeah, I think Bruce there's a dvd that was prepared in Australia by the freedom community in Australia who are in the struggle for the return of democracy to Fiji and they've prepared a documentary in the Fijian language on certain important issues that were happening in Fiji prior to the coup 2006 and our information giving it a true state of the country economically and so forth. This was on this particular dvd which was sent to us in December, and which was circulated to supporters of the SDL party in the rural areas.

HILL: So your suggesting that the military got wind of this distribution of this dvd which had been prepared in Australia and they were trying to find out who was distributing it?

TIKONISAU: Yes, that is basically it Bruce, yeah.

HILL: Did they give you any reason for the beating, did they say anything to you while they were doing this?

TIKONISAU: Well, the contents of the dvd was the thing that they were very angry about, because sort of anti-regime and they exposed a lot of truths leading up to the coup in 2006. As you know, the leaders of the coup in 2006 were accusing the government of the day of corruption and various other things and so I think the disk exposed material that was contrary to that, yeah.

HILL: Well, I have to ask this question, you're a former politician yourself. Your active in the SDL, the party which was deposed in the coup. You've got a vested interest in painting the current government in as negative a light as possible. How can we know that this beating did take place and that you're not perhaps exaggerating what happened?

TIKONISAU: Yeah, that's a good question, because I was the only person taken from the office that evening on Monday the 21st and for two nights and two days, there was total blackout. No one knew what was my fate, only just the SDL party members and family. I was held there from Monday night through to Tuesday, then Tuesday night and early Wednesday morning, about three in the morning when this incident occurred where they took me from the cell, got me to crawl and into the interrogating room and tactics were used to kind of extract information further regarding the disk.

HILL: Now how did you manage to get to Australia immediately after you were beaten?

TIKONISAU: Yeah, surprising thing Bruce, I really didn't expect to be released, because I just told them yes, I received this material from Australia, and distributed it. And the reasons are that I felt that the people needed to know some truths, the other side to the story and to give them an informed judgement of really what happened in Fiji during the coup 2006. My release late Wednesday night, about 10.30pm came as a surprise, so I came out of there and I walked out and made my way to the main hospital in Suva to try and get some treatment and then the family were just so concerned, they said no, no we've got to try and get you out of here and make arrangements made here in Australia from family to get me out so I just made by way to Nadi and thankfully I managed to get onto the plane.

HILL: And what are the extent of your injuries?

TIKONISAU: Well, basically bruising to the face and all that and swelling on my head and on sprained fingers which they tried to sort of bend back to get information, use of the pain and overall body aches and all of that, yeah.

Padarath fronts in court as tipped

The former Suva politician, Ben Padarath, has appeared in court as earlier predicted by Coupfourpointfive, on a failed plot to overthrow the dictator Frank Bainimarama last year.

A draft decree aimed at allowing the President of Fiji, Epeli Nailatikau, to authorise the ousting of Bainimarama is said to have been found in the home of Padarath, the nephew of former land force commander Pita Driti.

The FijiVillage confirmed today Padarath has been charged with allegedly concealing false government documents and is to appear again in the Suva Magistrates Court in early April.

'Evidence' there was a plot to overthrow Bainimarama last year, was found at the home of Padarath by military soldiers while they were investigating the con man for alleged fraud with lawyer Renee Lal.

Padarath was beaten and was in hospital nursing injuries until he was shuffled earlier this week to the court, where he was represented by the lawyer son (Rajendra Chaudhry) of the Fiji Labour Party leader, Mahendra Chaudhry.

Brigadier General Mohammed Aziz is also implicated in last year's attempted plot, which was not executed in the end.

Our information is that Driti and the former 3FIR Commander, Ratu Tevita Uluilakeba Mara who was arrested by military earlier this week, have also been charged although they were not seen at court today.

Amnesty International Condemns Brutal Beatings in Fiji

Amnesty International Public Statement

For immediate release

25 February 2011

Fiji: Arbitrary detentions and beatings must stop

The severe beating, amounting to torture, of a government critic and the reported detention and beating of several trade unionists and politicians in the last week indicate that the human rights situation in Fiji is worsening, Amnesty International said today.

The military detained politician Sam Speight at the Queen Elizabeth Barracks outside of Suva, the capital, on 21 February. They repeatedly beat him until he lost consciousness. He was released on 24 February. Speight was a cabinet minister in the deposed government of Laisenia Qarase.

The military continually denied knowledge of Speight’s whereabouts to his wife and other family members during his three day detention.

Speight has since gone to Australia to receive urgently needed medical attention.

Human rights activists who visited the military barracks to obtain more information on Speight during his detention said that the military threatened them and warned them to keep quiet or they themselves would be beaten.

Speight’s detention and torture followed the recent arrest of a number of trade unionists and politicians who were also threatened and beaten by military officers at the Queen Elizabeth Barracks. Those who were beaten up include trade unionists Felix Anthony and Maika Namudu and two politicians. They have subsequently been released, but there are continuing fears for their safety.

Amnesty International is gravely concerned for the safety of activists and government critics as another crackdown begins in the country.

The government continues to use the Public Emergency Regulations (PER) as a tool of repression. The PER was enacted in April 2009 in the wake of the government’s abrogation of the Constitution, and greatly restricts freedom of expression and peaceful assembly. Ongoing censorship of the media and threats, intimidation and attacks against government critics continue to evoke a climate of fear in Fiji.

Amnesty International calls on the Fiji government to:

•Immediately stop the arbitrary detention, torture and other ill-treatment of critics and activists;

•Immediately initiate an independent impartial investigation into the arbitrary detention, torture and other ill-treatment of Sam Speight and others, and ensure that those military officers suspected of involvement in these acts, irrespective of rank, are brought to justice;

•Immediately suspend the Public Emergency Regulations;

•End the censorship of the media;

•Ensure that freedoms of expression and peaceful assembly are respected.


Fijian regime cracking down on opponents: Amnesty

25 February 2011 

The human rights organisation, Amnesty International, says Fiji is cracking down on opponents of the interim military regime, possibly in response to the recent anti-government uprisings across the Middle East.

The New Zealand branch of Amnesty said a former politician, Samisoni Speight Tikonisau, was severely beaten by military officers in Fiji before he fled to Brisbane in Australia.

Amnesty International's New Zealand CEO, Patrick Holmes, told Radio Australia's Pacific Beat program that the assault on Mr Tikonisau is one of many against activists in Fiji in recent weeks.

"There are a number of beatings going on and they are going on over a prolonged period of time ... It's just an extension of the intimidation and bully boy tactics that we've seen for so long from this government and it seems to have been ramped up ... and I guess it's anybody's guess whether this is in any way linked to what's going on in the Middle East," he said.

Driti & Mara's Future in Fiji Dictator's Hands

Posted by Fiji Live News - 25 February 2011

Fiji army commander and Prime Minister Commodore Voreqe Bainimarama will decide the status of two senior army officers once they have completed all outstanding leave. 

Former Land Force Commander Brigadier General Pita Driti and former chief of staff Lieutenant Colonel Tevita Uluilakeba Mara’s position within the military will be decided by Bainimarama, the newly appointed Land Force Commander Colonel Mosese Tikoitoga told FijiLive.

“Pita Driti is still on leave ... officially being paid by the RFMF and likewise, Ratu Tevita Uluilakeba Mara. They will complete their leave and then Commander RFMF (Commodore Voreqe Bainimarama) will decide,” he said. 

Col Tikoitoga said both officers will be on leave until April because they are owed a lot of leave. 

“That’s one of the reasons they were sent on leave,” he added. 

When asked if the two were under any investigation, Col Tikoitoga said “No. Not that I know of.” 

Driti and Mara went on leave on 25 October, 2010.

Subsequently, Colonel Mosese Tikoitoga was appointed Land Force Commander and Major Amani Suliano, 3rd Fiji Infantry Regiment Commander.

Brigadier General Driti was appointed Land Force Commander in January 2007, the third most senior position in the military. 

Ratu Uluilakeba Mara, the youngest son of former Fiji Prime Minister and President, the late Ratu Sir Kamisese Mara, was named Land Force chief of staff on February 3 in 2006, succeeding Colonel Meli Saubulinayau, a close relative of his. 

This position is the fourth highest in the RFMF, behind that of the Military Commander Commodore Voreqe Bainimarama.

Driti told FijiLive that he spent most of his leave in Levuka and is now back in Suva.

Illegal Fiji Charter Forced to Bind Future Political Manifesto

Radio Fiji News - 25 February 2011

The illegal Peoples Charter is here to stay and political parties or groups will have to base their manifesto around it says Strategic Framework for Change director – Joeli Besetimoala.

Besetimoala says come 2014 political parties and any elected government will have to align their manifesto to the People’s Charter and continue with the current government’s development corporate plan.

“I believe the political parties will just have to base their manifesto from the Peoples Charter so it will make things much easier for those who would like have political parties because the Charter is there and this document will guide every government in Fiji from this government to future Fiji political parties -so it will be much easier for political parties to come up with a manifesto because the Charter is there to guide them.”

BLOODY HANDS: Ben Naliva and Dictator Bainimarama.

POSTED ON COUP FOUR POINT FIVE - 25 FEBRUARY 2011

Soldier behind Speight beating named and Mark Him Down!

Major Ben Naliva (left picture looking over the Dictator Bainimarama) has been named to Coupfourpointfive as the soldier issuing the orders to beat Sam Speight.

Speight received severe injuries after several days in the hands of the miltary goons.

Naliva, who is from the Rewa province, has been named as the ringleader firing the orders for Speight to be thoroughly thrashed.

Also known as Penioni Naliva, this zealot surfaced a few weeks ago in the beating of con man Ben Padarath.

Naliva was Frank Bainimarama's main personal staff officer around the 2006 coup and is still in the job, getting his hands dirty and bloody for the dictator.

Of course, the real culprit behind the assaults of ordinary Fiji citizens is the despotic Bainimarama, the biggest criminal of the Pacific, who is beginning to look as grotesque as the mad Libyan leader, Muammar Gaddafi.

Like Gaddafi, Bainimarama continues to intimidate and terrorise citizens because he knows that if he doesn't keep his foot on people's throats, he wouldn't be in power. 

And like Gadaffi (this is the monster who yesterday called on his supporters to go out and attack the 'cockroaches' demonstrating against him), Bainimarama must eventually fall. 

What was Speight doing after all? Distributing DVDs with a pro-democracy message - hardly a killing offence but one that clearly gives Bainimarama the runs.

Media Censorship Continues Unabated in Military Run Fiji

Posted by Pacific Scoop - 24 February 2011

The International Federation of Journalists (IFJ) joins with the Pacific Freedom Forum (PFF) in condemning the detention of a Fiji Times journalist by military officers for his investigative reporting.

Fiji Times journalist Felix Chaudhary, 41, who is based in Lautoka on Fiji ’s main island of Viti Levu , was apprehended by military officers on February 18 when he was reporting on an event where the country’s regime leader Frank Bainimarama was present, PFF reported.

During his one-hour detention Chaudhary was told the regime was unhappy with the reports appearing under his byline on the sugar and aviation industries in Fiji . The journalist was not physically harmed in the incident.

Chaudhary is the first journalist known to have been detained in 2011, though the practice has been common since April 2009, when Public Emergency Regulations were put in place. The regulations were to be replaced by a new enforcement body, the Media Industry Development Authority, MIDA, which is backed by decree. However the regulations remain in force.

“This crude attempt by Fiji ’s military regime to intimidate and threaten a journalist who is doing his job reporting matters of public interest is of significant concern,” IFJ General Secretary Aidan White said.

“The military’s reliance upon the Public Emergency Regulations to harass journalists is intolerable and does not go unnoticed by the international media community.”

The IFJ joins with PFF in condemning the continued use of the Public Emergency Regulations which allow the military to arbitrarily detain and question civilians, and stands in solidarity with our colleagues in Fiji who comply with codes of journalistic ethics of an international standard under extreme circumstances.

Fiji Dictator Bainimarama Under Siege in Moves to Overthrow Him

Posted on COUPFOURPOINTFIVE - THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 2011

Speight released and Nailatikau sevusevu had undertones

Updating our last major story - Sam Speight was released last night.

The member for Tailevu North was badly beaten and needs urgent medical treatment. Sources say he has departed for Australia today, to get medical help. 

The joint military and navy delegation to Epeli Nailatikau yesterday was made up of senior officers and was led by military commander and dictator, Frank Bainimarama. 

They went to Government House and presented a sevusevu to Nailatikau, thanking him for his role during the funeral of the former president, Ratu Josefa Iloilo. 


But the thank you or sevusevu was punctuated with a finely veiled message to Nailatikau that his time is up. 

According to military sources present, the message was contained in the presentation speech made in Fijian language by the delegation.

WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 2011

LATEST REPORT - Nailatikau still at Government House

There may well be antipathy between Epeli Nailatikau and Frank Bainimarama but it seems supporters have been too hasty to tout the illegal president has been removed from Government House by soldiers.

New information suggests our earlier story, based on information from two sources, was premature.

We've now been told Nailatikau is still at Government House and that soldier's were visiting him about something else.

It's been suggested troops were presenting a magiti for Josefa Iloilo's funeral.

We'll keep you posted.

MORE BREAKING NEWS! Nailatikau removed by soldiers

THE EYES HAVE IT: Bainimarama and Nailatikau (left) at Josefa Iloilo's funeral.

Reports are coming in that Epeli Nailatikau has been removed as president from Government House by soldiers.

Nailatikau's removal apparently follows the arrest last night of the former 3FIR Commander, Ratu Tevita Uluilakeba Mara, in Lautoka.

Supporters say Roko Ului has been detained to deter any uprising as a result of the removal of Nailaitikau; Ulilakeba wields a support of more than 1200 royalist soldiers in the Fiji Army.  

Information given to Coupfourpointfive says the President was questioned on Wednesday the 6th of this month about the decree found at the Suva house of con man Ben Padarath.

We've been told Nailatikau was summoned to camp at QEB and kept in an interview room for four hours on the directive of dictator Frank Bainimarama. 

Coupfourpointfive sources say a letter has been delivered to the President to step down on the 28th of this month - in five days time. The letter came from Bainimarama. 

The president has not responded to the letter but tension is said to have already started to build with people of Ra pledging their support, together with the high chief of Rewa.

It's believed Bainimarama wants to have executive authority as President and to do away with the role of prime minister.

BREAKING NEWS - Mara, Aziz and Driti in custody!

Major developments in Fiji overnight - the former 3FIR Commander Ratu Tevita Uluilakeba Mara was arrested by military in Lautoka.

Roko Ului was in the sugar city of Fiji to conduct Fiji Pine matters as board chairman. 

Ului is still detained.

Brigadier General Mohammed Aziz has also been taken in by military soldiers clamping down on a plot by Frank Bainimarama's one time henchmen and junior officers. 

Former close ally, Pita Driti, is the other officer who has been questioned by both police and military.

It's believed Driti has confirmed the information revealed earlier by his nephew, Ben Padarath.

Padarath, who is to appear in court, is said to have spilled the beans to military soldiers about the plot last year to overthrow illegal leader, Bainimarama.

He had offered to turn state witness.

Sam Speight is also still in military detention. Coupfourpointfive was advised late yesterday he had been released but we have been told today he is still in custody.

The family of the member for Tailevu North is particularly worried because he has health problems.

Speight's second wife was Ratu Iloilo's daughter, who died. He went on to marry Ana Kalounivale - widow of murdered CRW soldier Selestino Kaluonivale, who was brutally killed despite being off duty on November the 2nd in the 2000 Mutiny Day by Bainimarama's soldiers.

Sam Speight's son, Henry Speight, is Ratu Iloilo's grandson. He played rugby for Waikato last year and this year is playing for ACT Brumbies in Super 15.
