Regime monitors democracy group

Issue No: 659; 6 April 2001

 
The regime's security forces say that they are monitoring the activity of a democracy activist.

Today's Daily Post reports that the military and the police are "closely monitoring the action of the organization or any of its members". The organisation concerned is a new social support group called SAHARA. Sahara was formed after the 19 May attempted coup to provide assistance to families and people terrorised by anti-government terrorists and right wing nationalists.

The paper reports that a member of the group claims that Fiji's ethnic Indians were in great danger, and that her life was at risk. The paper stated: "her life is at risk, that the military and police were keeping a tab on all her movements while she was in Fiji, as a result of which she had to flee the country".
