Sedition trial in Fiji

31/05/2018

Sedition trials are no longer common, but the Lowy Institute's online bulletin, the interpreter, reports that the Fiji High Court has handed down a not-guilty verdict in the case of four men, including three Fiji Times executives, charged with sedition over a letter that appeared in the Fiji Times–published indigenous language publication Nai Lalakai in 2016. Fiji’s DPP has announced that he will appeal the High Court’s decision.
