"Fiji First Government made a decision to target a disenfranchised minority group of immigrants to utilize a Retrospective vehicle to unfairly remove their Private Property Rights and thru a successive program of fines for noncompliance and prison terms of two years added on, sought to enact a "Land Grab", this was aimed to one class of people -"Kaivalagi's, " those white people "not from here". - Karen Seaton
"After I spoke to Parliament that day, less than 17hrs later my hotel room was broken into, I was refused the Right to Council, Right to Embassy support, my arm twisted to forcibly remove my phone, my phone contacts erased, no access to my communication devices during confinement, refused the request to allow me to make arrangements for my home and animals. Forced onto a plane and sent to a land not of my home. This under the A.G.'s direct action after a two inch document revealed conversations between him and myself.."
Open Letter to UNHR Special Rapporteur, Mutuma Ruteere
Date: 8 December 2016 at 12:05:21 PM GMT-8
Subject: Human Rights Violations enacted under Fiji's Attorney General, A.S. Khaiyum
U.N. Special Rapporteur, Mutuma Ruteere,
Aloha Mr. Ruteere,
UNHR tasked with surveying the policies provisions and measures in place to fight discrimination and promote multiculturalism.
My name is Karen Seaton, I am a Citizen of USA, Canada and the UK, was a legal Resident of Fiji for six years.
On December 2, I spoke to The Standing Committee on Justice and Human Rights pursuant to Section 109 of the Standing Orders of the Parliament of Fiji. Tabling into the Public Record a two inch thick document testimonies of those injured from the "Vindictive and Class based" Racist act, Land Sales Act 16. Which Retrospectively penalizes those who bought properties in the past, not Fijian Citizens but Residents and stakeholders in this Country. Fines and a two year prison term was retrospectively attached to their land ownership, demanding a home worth 250,000.00$ be completed by this December or they would be subject to those penalties. (Up to 100,000.00$ fine & or 2yrs. Imprisonment)
Racism can be targeted to any class of people, white, black, red or yellow, all it is, is a person's subconscious, unquestioned, beliefs which prevent a person from a compassionate response or application of Justice.

Forced onto a plane and sent to a land not of my home. This under the A.G.'s direct action after a two inch document revealed conversations between him and myself which revealed a knowledge of use of Retrospective law, forbidden in most developed Countries and under the U.N. Declaration of Human Rights, which revealed a policy of stonewalling, not answering a single plea for compassionate relief from this atrocious piece of legislation affecting approx five thousand people. A document which reveled when Human Rights Violations were a matter of Fijian Government Policies, Fiji's Human Right's Commission would not advocate against those policies.
-when land owners pleaded for mercy to the deputy secretary to P.M., post Winston, from the attrocious LSA 16 what they received was the right to file an application for relief if they would disclose a six page document on all their financials, give their passport numbers, the decision without objectifiable crieteria , done behind closed doors, and final without appeal, and now with imprisonment for two years for noncompliance! This was A.G.'s idea of mercy - two years of imprisionment for no home built this December worth 250k$ ...Retrospective Legislation is prohibited in almost every developed Nation in the world. Yet A.G. Khayium touts it as Australia and N.Z. does it, knowing full well neither of these Countries utilize Retrospective Legislation to harm threaten and imprison it's multinational investors....this is shameful and there is no way of looking at it outherwise!..Racist & vindictive...!
Definition of Retrospective Legislation by L.M.Cooray "The Rule of Law"
Laws should apply prospectively and not retrospectively. A person should never be made to suffer in Law (Criminal or Civil) for an Act which was not unlawful when he committed it. Retrospective Legislation destroys the certainty of law is ARBITRARY and VINDICTIVE (being invariably directed against identifiable persons or groups.) Such laws undermine many characteristics of law."
Land Sales Act 16 was passed December of 2014 and RETROSPECTIVELY applied to investors, Fijian Stakeholders prior to that date.
Racistly applied to KAIVALAGI'S those people "not of our tribe."
LSA 16 is Retrospective Legislation used to take from "kaivalangi's" a lifetimes fruits of their labour, because as the subconscious racist belief goes "'Kaivalagi's are an opportunity with access to a money tree so taking from them, in any form, is acceptible".
We are all one in Christ. We all have salt in our tears and blood and deserve equal treatment under Just laws. Thank you for working towards that achievement.
Sincere respectful request for help.
Kind aloha,
