As hunger strike at the Suva Remand Centre ends, Fijileaks publishes letter from remand inmate which protests being treated as convicted prisoners;"We told Government has no money to feed us, prisoners"

8/10/2013

A hunger strike at the Suva Remand centre yesterday has been resolved.
Corrections Commissioner Lieutenant Colonel Ifereimi Vasu (pictured left) said the incident involved a few of the remand prisoners who were not happy with the standard of food.

Vasu said that the issue originated from one of the prisoners but the issue was quickly resolved yesterday.

According to Vasu, this type of dispute is frequent in the remand centre but is usually resolved through communication.

He added that those involved in the hunger strike have now resumed eating following the resolution. Source: Fijivillage News
