DONALD TRUMP'S VISA BANS: Who is NEXT? Will it be Fiji's Attorney-General and Minister of Justice Aiyaz Khaiyum who had lied on his VISA APPLICATION to get entry into United States after joining 2006 coupists

Meanwhile, as Donald Trump fires his acting Attorney-General for refusing to endorse the executive order restricting Muslim travel and immigration to United States, another Attorney-General should be a very worried man - YES - Fiji's Attorney-General and Minister of Justice Aiyaz Sayed Khaiyum who had lied on his VISA FORM to get entry into America

IMMIGRATION LAW: LIED ON HIS VISA FORM

(Note: The USG revoked [Aiyaz] Sayed-Khaiyum's 10-year visa in early 2007, notifying him by phone and letter.

Making misrepresentations on an application for immigration benefits is a ground of inadmissibility under U.S. Immigration Law. The former ambassador Larry Dinger's cable (Wikileaks) clearly state Aiyaz Sayed Khaiyum LIED on his Visa Application in 2008

Interim AG goes public with UN visa-denial complaint
--------------------------------------------- --------
1. (U) Fiji's interim Attorney General Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum phoned Suva media from Vienna on Friday, May 9, to make public his unhappiness at Embassy Suva having denied him a visa to transit Los Angeles to and from a U.N conference in Vienna. He also complained that the U.S. denial came at "the eleventh hour." Sayed-Khaiyum said the interim government (IG) is filing a complaint with the UN in New York. We provide background.

The actual story
----------------

2. (SBU) Embassy Suva received a dipnote from Fiji MFA on the afternoon of Wednesday, April 30, seeking transit visas of LA for May 6 and 9/10 to facilitate Sayed-Khaiyum's attendance at a meeting in Vienna of the Expanded Pilot Review Group on the implementation of the UN Convention Against Corruption. The same afternoon, we informed EAP/ANP of the request and sought Washington's response, given that Sayed-Khaiyum is on the Fiji post-coup visa-sanction list.

(Note: The USG revoked Sayed-Khaiyum's 10-year visa in early 2007, notifying him by phone and letter. Interestingly, on the transit-visa application, Sayed-Khaiyum checked the box indicating he had never had a U.S. visa revoked.)

On the morning of Friday, May 2, EAP/ANP provided Washington's response to deny the visa. We immediately phoned MFA and followed up with a dipnote, delivered the same day. On Monday, May 5, Sayed-Khaiyum phoned the Embassy and had a polite conversation with DCM Mann, who confirmed the USG denial of the transit-visa request.

U.S. policy re UN-related visa requests
---------------------------------------

3. (SBU) To the best of our knowledge, USG policy on UN-related visas for those on the Fiji visa-sanction list is to allow an exception in those cases where travel is to New York or elsewhere in the U.S. for UN business, acknowledging a U.S. obligation under the UN headquarters agreement. Similarly, the USG has permitted travel to Washington for World Bank/IMF meetings. In Sayed-Khaiyum's case, the meeting was not in the U.S. but in Vienna; and, as he has demonstrated, he had an alternative route to get there: via Seoul.

Media coverage and reactions
----------------------------

4. (SBU) Fiji media have given Sayed-Khaiyum's public complaint reasonable coverage. Over the weekend, Embassy Suva responded to media requests for comment by noting that USG visa sanctions on interim government ministers remain in place.

We have not yet commented on the UN angle, though we did so in the past in relation to interim PM Bainimarama's attendance at the UNGA last September.

From what we hear, Sayed-Khaiyum's revelation that the USG denied the visa has given heart to a number of opponents of the IG, who rightly perceive Sayed-Khaiyum to be one of the IG's most outspoken defenders of restraints on human-rights.

Such restraints have included deportation of media publishers and, for some Fiji citizens, restraints on travel abroad. One blog noted over the weekend that last year the IG (Sayed-Khaiyum) refused to permit travel by a Fiji-citizen employee of the UN's Suva office to a UN conference in Tonga.

"My great grandparents came from Germany, Austria and Poland. Priscilla's parents were refugees from China and Vietnam. The United States is a nation of immigrants, and we should be proud of that.

Like many of you, I'm concerned about the impact of the recent executive orders signed by President Trump.

We need to keep this country safe, but we should do that by focusing on people who actually pose a threat. Expanding the focus of law enforcement beyond people who are real threats would make all Americans less safe by diverting resources, while millions of undocumented folks who don't pose a threat will live in fear of deportation.
We should also keep our doors open to refugees and those who need help. That's who we are. Had we turned away refugees a few decades ago, Priscilla's family wouldn't be here today.

That said, I was glad to hear President Trump say he's going to "work something out" for Dreamers -- immigrants who were brought to this country at a young age by their parents. Right now, 750,000 Dreamers benefit from the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program that allows them to live and work legally in the US. I hope the President and his team keep these protections in place, and over the next few weeks I'll be working with our team at FWD.us to find ways we can help.
I'm also glad the President believes our country should continue to benefit from "people of great talent coming into the country."

These issues are personal for me even beyond my family. A few years ago, I taught a class at a local middle school where some of my best students were undocumented. They are our future too. We are a nation of immigrants, and we all benefit when the best and brightest from around the world can live, work and contribute here. I hope we find the courage and compassion to bring people together and make this world a better place for everyone."

AS SODELPA hints of a possible "breakfast" prayer meeting between Rabuka and Trump at White House, these two bloody racists have a lot to chew on - in May 1987 the Indo-Fijians woke up to become "aliens" in Fiji

"The penalty for treason in all Commonwealth countries is death, and if this is to be my destiny I will accept it," Rabuka, 19 May 1987; he later promoted himself Major-General, and for the last 30 years is hiding behind the shield of IMMUNITY after subjecting Indo-Fijians to torture, violence, displacement, and second-class citizenship (the list is too long); and now is heading to the White House to breakfast with his re-incarnation Donald Trump - who is treating MUSLIMS with utter and despicable contempt.

And for Fiji Immigration authorities to explain to us how he got into Fiji? Broke and destitute, the young Iranian asylum seeker Logham Sawari has been given refuge by a Fijian family and is planning to present himself to Fiji immigration officials on Monday to seek protection

"Hopelessness and living in constant fear [in PNG] is leading him to consider drastic action. I also believe that his mental health is declining and is at a point where he needs to be given the support and safety very soon. I am very concerned for him. He is exhausted and I believe he is unable to continue. I also believe he will make some decisions that will see him either lose his life or at least end up more damaged."

WE must remember thousands of Indo-Fijians (many not even politically active) fled Fiji with or without their families from RACIST SITIVENI RABUKA and India even secretly gave deposed Prime Minister Mahendra Pal Chaudhry $2million to relocate to Australia with his family following the George Speight failed coup, and Ratu Tevita Mara fled to Tonga in a daring escape from Aiyaz Khaiyum and Frank Bainimarama, not to mention many native Fijians who fled abroad following the 2006 coup
"We may well entertain a vision of a world without refugees - a world in which men and women are never in jeopardy on account of their religion, their nationality, their political views, or their membership of any group, of a world in which people need never flee from war and civil strife. But this is not the sort of world in which we live. We can so easily be seized by despair or cynicism, by the wish to cultivate our own garden and to be sufficient unto ourselves. In the years that lie ahead, too, we shall encounter men and women on the run. It is beyond the capacity of mankind to predict where and when new refugee problems will arise. But we possess the fundamental ideas on human rights and a sense of fellow feeling that goes beyond countries and continents, religions, cultures, and racial borders. We live in a world community of states, as reflected in the United Nations. But we are living, too, in the world community of men and women - many of them men and women who are stateless..."

 Escape from Manus Island: Iranian refugee seeks asylum in Fiji
By Michel Gordon, Sydney Morning Herald, 28 January 2017

A young Iranian refugee who was held on Manus Island for more than three years has fled to Fiji, where he is seeking asylum on the grounds he fears persecution if he goes back to Papua New Guinea.

It is the first case where a refugee who sought asylum from Australia is claiming to be fleeing persecution by a country connected to the Coalition's deliberately harsh "stop the boats" policy.

Mr Sawari told Fairfax Media he had cobbled together the money for the airfare from several sources over several months.

Broke and destitute, he has been given refuge by a Fijian family and is planning to present himself to Fiji immigration officials on Monday to seek protection.

UNHCR officials are understood to be aware of his situation, which poses legal and diplomatic challenges for the countries involved. Fiji, PNG and Australia are all signatories to the refugee convention.

A warning that Mr Sawari could take extreme measures was included in a submission from trauma worker Janet Galbraith 10 weeks ago. The submission requested he be included in the proposed US resettlement deal because of his vulnerability.

"Hopelessness and living in constant fear is leading him to consider drastic action. I also believe that his mental health is declining and is at a point where he needs to be given the support and safety very soon," Ms Galbraith wrote to the UNHCR.

"I am very concerned for him. He is exhausted and I believe he is unable to continue. I also believe he will make some decisions that will see him either lose his life or at least end up more damaged."

Mr Sawari said he is terrified of being sent back to PNG. "If I go back they will make me crazy or they put me in the jail. I'm sure about that," he said by phone from Nadi.

"My problem is I cannot go back to Iran and I can't stay in PNG. I don't want to go to Australia. I just want to be free, just like human being. I would stay in Fiji. Here you can walk anytime - night, morning. You free here."

Ms Galbraith has just returned from three months in PNG and said Mr Sawari is more vulnerable than many others on Manus Island because his teenage years were filled with trauma and torture in Iran before his ordeal on Manus Island.

For the first few months of his detention in Papua New Guinea, Mr Sawari was an aberration: the boy in a detention centre that was supposed to be exclusively for men, a number of whom have wives and children in Australia.

He was 17 when he arrived on Manus Island in August 2013, one month after the then Labor government decided to remove children and family groups from the detention centre. A letter from Australian immigration officials told him he would be "treated as a minor for the purposes of accommodation, placement and other purposes". He remained in isolation until his 18th birthday, when he was told he would be staying.

He was one of the first refugees to be leave the detention centre on Manus Island after his claim for refugee status was accepted, but he suffered from depression and was taken to the local jail after attempting suicide soon after his release. Case notes dated January 2014 show that Mr Sawari was considered to be "high risk".

He lasted two months in PNG's second-biggest city, where he said he was terrified by an armed "raskol" and reduced to tears by bullying in the town before being befriended by a homeless youth.

After being refused permission to return to the transit centre, Mr Sawari fled on a boat and was protected by locals on a neighbouring island for some weeks before returning to Manus Island and being transferred to Port Moresby.

In Port Moresby, Ms Galbraith's report notes Mr Sawari continued to experience harassment, bullying and attacks. "He is extremely and obviously hyper-vigilant all the time. He seldom sleeps and often spends a week inside his unit as he is afraid to venture out."

Ms Galbraith said she had no warning of Mr Sawari's intentions, but had counselled him against previous escape plans, which included travelling by boat to the Solomon Islands.

"In PNG, many of the refugees are talking about doing this. He's just the first who has succeeded. It's not that others haven't tried."

He has also suffered from chronic dental problems, recurring infections in his ears, gums, throat and stomach since 2013 and bouts of fainting and dizziness.

His voice sounded excited and hopeful when he spoke to Fairfax Media soon after arriving in Fiji.

But the excitement had given way to anxiety, uncertainty and dread on Friday.

When we asked for Indo-Fijian rights, Sitiveni Rabuka through his illegal decrees and native Fijian lawyers in 1987 called me and others "TERRORISTS" who were plotting to overthrow him through the smuggled "GUNS OF LAUTOKA" - Victor Lal, 29 January 2017;
"An Opponent of a Dictator is an Enemy of the State", whether it is
in Fiji or Iran. So, let us give this young Iranian asylum seeker the opportunity to prove his claim for asylum in Fiji, and not speak the despicable Donald Trump language against all MUSLIMS. Rabuka had branded all Hindus and Muslims as PAGANS who should be converted to Christianity. It was a matter of Sink or Swim with Indo-Fijians in Fiji

A historian has discovered a royal decree issued to Donald Trump’s grandfather ordering him to leave Germany and never come back.

Friedrich Trump, a German, was issued with the document in February 1905, and ordered to leave the kingdom of Bavaria within eight weeks as punishment for having failed to do mandatory military service and failing to give authorities notice of his departure to the US when he first emigrated in 1885.

Roland Paul, a historian from Rhineland-Palatinate who found the document in local archives, told the tabloid Bild: “Friedrich Trump emigrated from Germany to the USA in 1885. However, he failed to de-register from his homeland and had not carried out his military service, which is why the authorities rejected his attempt at repatriation.”

The decree orders the “American citizen and pensioner Friedrich Trump” to leave the area “at the very latest on 1 May ... or else expect to be deported”. Bild called the archive find an “unspectacular piece of paper”, that had nevertheless “changed world history”.

Trump was born in Kallstadt, now in the state of Rhineland-Palatinate, in 1869. He emigrated to the US aged 16 initially to escape poverty, attracted by the gold rush.He quickly turned his attention to catering for the masses of other gold hunters in Alaska, later allegedly running a brothel for them, and there made his fortune. He habitually sent the gold nuggets with which his customers regularly paid for their food to his sisters who had already emigrated to New York and had started trading in property.

Returning on a visit to Kallstadt in 1901, Trump fell in love with Elisabeth Christ, whom he married a year later, returning with her to the US. But when she became homesick and wanted to return to Germany, the authorities blocked his attempts to settle there.

In an effort to overturn the royal decree dated 27 February 1905, Trump wrote an obsequious letter appealing to Prince Regent Luitpold, addressing him as “the much-loved, noble, wise and righteous sovereign and sublime ruler”.

But the prince rejected the appeal and the Trumps left Germany for New York with their daughter on the Hapag steamship Pennsylvania on 1 July 1905. Elisabeth was three months pregnant with Donald Trump’s father, Fred.

Residents of Kallstadt, a small wine-growing town of about 1,200 people in south-west Germany, joke that the blame for Trump becoming US president-elect lies with the German authorities who threw his grandfather out. They have so far shown little enthusiasm for claiming the businessman turned politician as their own.

FORGING AHEAD: FLP, SODELPA, United Freedom Party in coalition talk

Leaders in coalition talks

The Leaders of SODELPA, Fiji Labour Party and the United Fiji Freedom Party met in Suva this afternoon to continue their discussions on forging a coalition of opposition political parties to contest the 2018 general elections.

In attendance were party leaders Sitiveni Rabuka, Mahendra Chaudhry and Jagath Karunaratne
.
Speaking on behalf of the parties, Mr Chaudhry said that the meeting agreed to:

• #Draw up a memorandum of agreement to be executed by the leaders of the participating parties

• #Work on a coalition manifesto to be concluded in consultation with and the agreement of all participating parties

• #Address the immediate issues connected with the 2018 elections – appointment of members of the new Electoral Commission and a new Supervisor of Elections with the requisite professional qualifications and independence of office

• #implementation of the recommendations of the Multi National Observer Group which observed the flawed 2014 elections, as well as those of the last Fijian Electoral Commission whose term expired on 9 January. The implementation of their recommendations will require changes to the electoral laws.

• #Pursue the reinstatement of single member constituencies which provides for a more democratic and effective representation of the people as noted by Chief Justice Anthony Gates in one of his recent addresses to the new law graduates, and

• #Continue dialogue with leaders of other opposition parties and proposed political parties with a view to persuade them to join hands

Mr Chaudhry said that the idea of a grand Coalition was well received because the people saw it as a great opportunity

FLP's poll stance

AS the Fiji Labour Party (FLP) prepares for the 2018 General Election, it believes there is no room to target voters based on ethnicity and for voting along racial lines, says party leader Mahendra Chaudhry.

Mr Chaudhry said it was time to abandon such an approach.

"That's not the approach which should be taken to build the Fiji of the future. We can't be looking back. We can't be living in the past where we had the racial polarisation and voting was largely on ethnicity," he said.

"We don't support that kind of concept, that we will be targeting voters of a particular race on a particular agenda confined to that particular race," he said.

Mr Chaudhry said if FLP was to enter into a coalition, there would be no room for these policies.

"If we come into a coalition, then we must have a common manifesto. It's not a question of three parties of a coalition going and fighting elections with three different manifestos.

"We have to have one manifesto, you have to sort out your differences and produce a manifesto that is acceptable to all and will appeal to the people."

Mr Chaudhry is engaged in talks with Social Democratic Liberal Party (SODELPA) leader Sitiveni Rabuka and Fiji United Freedom Party leader Jagath Karunaratne on forging a coalition to contest the next general election.
Mr Chaudhry said setting aside differences between long-time political opponents was crucial in ensuring progress.

"Views change, people change and that is good if change is for the better," said Mr Chaudhry.

"If we can see eye to eye 20 to 25 years later and we can sit at the same table and talk the same language, that's progress," he said, referring to himself and Mr Rabuka.

"And I think we should take advantage of that and I'm glad that's happening. It's something which may not have been seen as being possible maybe five to 10 years ago. It's possible today because of change in circumstance."

Mr Chaudhry acknowledged that while voting along racial lines may not disappear overnight, it was still the responsibility of leaders and chiefs to achieve this. Source: Fiji Times, 26 January 2017

In December 2010 Mahendra Chaudhry's defence lawyer Rajendra Chaudhry had asked the Suva High Court for his father's bail to be granted without any restrictions, despite being charged with failure to surrender foreign currency, where it was alleged that "Mahendra Chaudhry between November 2000 and July 2010 retained [in Australia] the sum of AUS$1.5 million for his own use and benefit, without the consent of the
Governor of the Reserve Bank of Fiji". 

Rajendra Chaudhry had filed the application on his father’s behalf saying the FLP leader should be allowed to travel overseas. In his application to Justice Daniel Goundar, counsel Chaudhry stated that the current bail restrictions imposed on his client (father) was a violation of his (Mahendra Chaudhry's) basic human right to travel. Chaudhry’s application was based on the reason that he needed medical treatment in Australia. Rajendra Chaudhry told the court that his father would be in Australia from 28 December to 26 January for treatment. Chaudhry also asked if his client's wife (Mrs Chaudhry) could also accompany him on the trip as she also needed urgent medical treatment. State lawyer, Ana Tuiketei, did not oppose to Chaudhry’s application however she asked that bail be granted but with certain restrictions. She told Justice Goundar they were concerned that Chaudhry would likely access his account in Australia which they would be using as evidence. Mahendra Chaudhry was granted bail to travel. In January 2011 Mahendra Chaudhry was again allowed by Justice Goundar to travel to Hawaii for a conference organised by the Pacific Island Development Programme  conference. Rajendra Chaudhry told the court that Chaudhry was not a flight risk as he recently returned from Australia after medical treatment and that he still had two sureties who would vouch for this.
In February 2013,  Mahendra Chaudhry was again granted bail variation to travel to Australia for medical reasons between 4 and 18 March. There was widespread concern that if granted permission to travel to Australia, Chaudhry might not only use part of the money ($2million in Australia and over $400,000 in New Zealand bank accounts) but jump bail, and seek political asylum in Australia, given his high political profile. In the end, the High Court granted Chaudhry the permission to travel to Australia. We have no doubt that Arts would have returned to Fiji to stand trial. JUSTICE is meant to be BLIND. What about many Indo-Fijians who returned to Fiji after obtaining dual citizenship, only to rob, mess up, and run back to their adopted countries:

TIKARAM PARK IN LAMI: Long overdue and Thank You to Tikaram family

24/1/2017

Prime Minister Hon. Voreqe Bainimarama today opened the newly constructed Tikaram Park in Lami.

The park which is a first of its kind for the town of Lami is a joint project between the Lami Town Council and the Ministry of Local Government.

The head of government while officially opening Tikaram Park said that government has overseen the construction of sporting facilities, courts and parks all throughout the country.

“A part of our campaign against the unacceptably high prevalence of non-communicable diseases in Fiji, we have gone to great lengths to give every Fijian the resources and support they need to make sport and physical exercise a bigger part of their lives.

“This new park has something to offer Fijians of all ages and from all walks of life, because it is never too late or too early to enjoy the outdoors, get moving and make sport and physical exercise a bigger part of our lives.”
The park features recreational and sports facilities for senior citizens and children including a BBQ area, podium and a volleyball court. Source: Fijian Government
