We acknowledge and welcome a new blog to the block, Torture Watch, that has broken news of the increasing and now public defiance in Fiji.
The writing is indeed on the wall and the illegal and treasonous military regime will continue to be on the back-foot on this one because defiance will now overtake all the public spaces: online, offline and yes even smack-bang in their faces.
It appears that the defiance has not limited itself to walls either and is also extending to the regime's billboard propaganda.

DEFIANCE - THE WRITING'S ON THE WALL

DEFIANCE IN PUBLIC - PHOTO TAKEN THIS MORNING TUESDAY 23 AUGUST 2011
The writing's on the wall
Taken this morning 23 August 2011, these photos show dissent and defiance displayed on walls and bus stops along the Suva to Nausori corridor. No matter how many decree's are published to silence the public, the people of Fiji cannot and will not be silenced.
PART TIME PAINTERS - SOLDIERS OF THE ONCE PROUD FIJI MILITARY FORCES
Work always reserved for the Public Works Department was urgently dispensed to Soldiers who were seen painting over spray painted words that read "PM YOU LIER" on a bus stop wall. Other road workers stood at the bus stop on the opposite side blocking the view of large letters which read "REVOLOTION BEGINS".
MILITARY VEHICLE GN134 - SOLDIERS HARD AT WORK COVERING UP FOR THE REGIME - THE WORD "LIER" STILL VISIBLE BEFORE BEING PAINTED OVER BY THE PAINTER/SOLDIER
Also of much interest was what transpired at Karsanji Street. Earlier on a sign read "PM MURDERER" but this sign was painted over by Soldiers and the wall was clear of any message. Interestingly, in record time a sign mysteriously appeared in the space of 20 minutes reading "BAINIMARAMA U EVIL LEADER".

I like the pics guys. They shouldn't cover it and let the whole world see it.
Bainimarama you have control over the media and guess what, we have come up with a new one.SPRAY PAINT.
The “sun never shined on a cause of greater worth,” wrote Paine as he pressed Americans to take up the banner of revolution. That they did, and in July 1776 their leaders understood the “shared sacrifices” necessary to succeed. To that end, they willingly pledged their lives, fortunes and “sacred honor.”
If one should study the two pictures carefully you will notice that the walls are not the same although the write up tries to suggest it is the same. Just an observation.
I guess that this is the consequence of oppression and suppression. It's bubbling over ....
