STATEMENT [No 34 /2013] [Nov 27, 2013] The UFDF calls on the Attorney General, the PM & Military Commander to explain to the people how Brig Gen Driti who was part of the 2006 Bainimarama team that overthrew a constitutional government and is supposedly covered under the ‘entrenched’ immunity provisions of the 2013 constitution has somehow been ‘excluded’ and put on trial? The UFDF says if a special decree was passed by cabinet under section 161 of the 2013 constitution that excluded Brig Gen Driti from the protection he is supposed to have enjoyed as a member of the 2006 Bainimarama team, why has that decree not been made public?. The UFDF says it is ironic that Brig Gen Driti is being found guilty of inciting mutiny against an Army Commander who overthrew a constitutional government? The UFDF asks how was it possible to have a trial where some of the key characters involved in the alleged crime did not even make a court appearance. If Driti can be charged and brought to court while supposedly being protected under the immunity provisions, the UFDF asks if this means all those who have aided and abetted the regime who think they are protected from prosecution, can also be removed from immunity protection and prosecuted? Authorized By UFDF For further elaboration or interviews on our statements please contact anyone of the following: Mick Beddoes – 830524; Laisania Qarase – 9993113; Mahendra Chaudhry – 9921865 Attar Singh – 9921184; Tupeni Baba – 9373364 |

Why does UNDF advertise 3 contacts at SODELPA ( Qarase, Beddoes & Tupeni Baba) but only 1 each from FLP and NFP?

Unfortunately, it is pure and unadulterated demagoguery from UFDF. http://www.whaleoil.co.nz/2013/11/misleading-reporting-fiji-michael-field
