Commodore Bainimarama,
Along with the 68,000 members of the Independent Education Union of Australia, I have grave concerns for the human rights and working rights of Fijian citizens.
I support my Union colleagues in Fiji and call upon you to:
• Cease all arbitrary detention of critics and activists and immediately drop all charges against Mr Daniel Urai, President of Fiji Trade Union Congress
• Repeal the Public Emergency Regulation and allow for peaceful
assembly and freedom of expression
• Restore the industrial protections of the Employment Relations
Promulgation 2007 to civil servants
• Repeal the Essential National Industries Employment Decree and restore freedom of union association to workers in Fiji
I urge you to take these actions and return human rights and freedom to Fijian citizens.
Thank you for your attention.
