'We would like to add that since the 2006 Frank Bainimarama coup, Ben Naliva has been accused of gross human rights violations and torture, although there are NO Police reports to date because the VICTIMS were warned that if they went to Police, there would be dire consequences for them and their respective family members.'
Fijileaks: We call on the three-legged Coalition government to set up its own independent Commission of Inquiry, led by a retired overseas Judge, to establish how and who sanctioned the appointment of BEN NALIVA as the Deputy Commander of Australian army's 7th Brigade.
 OUCH: Most of the torture of victims were planned around KAVA bowls |  |
TAKING UP THE CASE: Australian Green Party Senator David Shoebridge
*Our Founding Editor-in-Chief had been chronicling Naliva's catalogue of human rights abuses since 2006, first in the now defunct Coupfourpointfive (C4/5) blog and later in Fijileaks, the online news and investigative website.
*On hearing of Naliva's appointment as Deputy Commander of the Australian army's 7th Brigade, we re-produced reports and testimonials of the victims and collaborated with the mainstream Australian media to expose Naliva, resulting in yesterday's Australian Senate hearing.
And to the eternal shame of Fiji media, their journalists deep asleep.
