Fiji: Human Rights
Senator MILNE (Tasmania—Leader of the Australian Greens) (12:06):
I move:
That the Senate—
(a) condemns the apparent torture and inhumane and degrading treatment of detainees in Fiji, as recently reported in an online video; and
(b) calls on the interim Fiji Government to:
(i) publicly condemn the use of torture and uphold international conventions protecting civil and political rights, and
(ii) establish an independent and transparent investigation into the events.
Question agreed to.
- INTELLIGENT RESISTANCE -
Free. Fair. Fearless. Intelligentsiya is made up of Fiji Islanders who are libertarians in their own way and who cherish the free flow of news, ideas and information and will peacefully resist any attempts by the country's military rulers to stifle free speech. intelligentsiya will also bear witness, report and discuss human rights abuses by the authorities.
