The reason that elected members of Parliament swear on the Bible is to serve the people NOT the President and his team.
This process can never be taken lightly and ultimately those who removed the elected peoples representative will be brought to account in both God's and man made laws where 'you reap what you sow'. This 'Karma' is in negative mode for Fiji.

My thoughts are with you all, the journalists in our neighbours Fiji, that have been and are denied of your media or freedom of speech and human rights as we speak, in a pacific island country that is hard to believe is ruled by guns.
"E faavae i le Atua Samoa." Samoa is founded on God, and with its firm constitution that is supported by a matai or traditional chiefly system, law and order is as simple as that.
Just simply have faith & Hang in there fellows & keep up the good work!

Fiji is getting worse by the day. Best news in a long time is Fiji's suspension from the Pacific Forum. The commonwealth should follow suit. But the best (and this can not come soon enough) is the suspension of Fijian soldiers from peace keeping missions around the world. I read on a blog that Dictators are not species to negotiate with. Don't waste valuable time. Activate your big guns to strangle this dictator. Fiji can rebuild once this dictator is shut out.

Immediately on attaining power each dictator has suppressed all free speech except his own.

Herbert Hoover

Following up on what my sister said, Americans will not take tyranny; people would have swarmed the streets dying in droves. They understand what is at risk in the long run and will die willingly to preserve democratic principles for future Americans. We don't depend on others for it is ours to fix.

Media censorship and curtailing freedom of speech seems such an alien concept like something to watch in a movie. And to know it actually happens in our lifetime and to people who are connected to us is mind boggling to say the least. Shocking still is people's inaction as if to say its all okay.

My mother got through so now my Aunty is signing for me.

I hope this is possible, if not please find a way of making this possible as there are so many of us that would like to sign this petition.

I support unfettered media reporting. It is the way those held in positions of leadership are kept honest. Freedom of the press is the public's eyes and ears until it is no longer free.

Sadder still is the number of Fijians abroad who fail to sign this petition in support of our families. Encouraging reading through the many non-fijian and non-hindi names appearing here and especially those South Pacific Islanders lending support to ordinary Fijians by putting names to this petition.

Silencing speech and the press does not mean you have recruits.

I want freedom of speech and freedom of the press in this Fiji just like the way it was before this dictator mounted his coup. Shame to the fijian soldiers for loosing their minds and their souls when the coins are dangled in their faces. Put away the guns and be real men let's draw up a ring and free for all, guaranatee you will be left sprawled on the floors. Be real men and allow free flow of information out of Fiji to the world. Why are you afraid.

I realize how the resort workers would be suffering because of the coup.

Fiji will not be getting the tourist it normally gets.

I am with you to topple the illegal junta
