Now that he is in UK, we plan to arrest him, and hold him to account for his despicable crimes. KEEP on signing the PETITION. Sign below:

The British High Commission in Fiji can sing his PRAISE but his VICTIMS have more powerful weapon in their armoury - their written TESTIMONIES. Section 134 of the United Kingdom's Criminal Justice Act allows the UK, under the principle of universal jurisdiction, to arrest and prosecute people accused of human rights abuses committed outside the UK
PUNCHED TO DEATH: Remember, Qiliho was Commanding Officer in Nadi when Sakiusa Rabaka was murdered there. Qiliho and his men were hurriedly transferred to Suva, and were about to be shipped to the Middle East when UN intervened and ordered them off the plane. For Rabaka's memory, help us bring him to JUSTICE. Sadly, Qiliho's native Fijian victims, the likes of motor mouth Pita Waqavonovono, and womens right activist Virisila Buadromo, have gone into hiding from us but we have enough affidavits from other torture victims of his to start the legal proceedings against him in the United Kingdom
SITIVENI QILIHO ESCAPES JUSTICE IN THE MURDER OF SAKIUSA RABAKA
On January 24, 2007, RFMF and police personnel detained four young men, including 19-year old Sakiusa Rabaka, ostensibly for smoking marijuana. They took the men to the Black Rock Military Base, near Nadi, and forced the men to participate in severe exercises, which included multiple beatings.
Among many indignities, the soldiers forced one man to perform oral sex on an unconscious co-detainee. The four were dropped off at a police station the following day, where they confessed to their crimes, and then released. Rabaka died as a result of injuries sustained during the assaults.
The RFMF attempted to frustrate the criminal investigation into this incident. The army refused to allow the police to interview eight RFMF soldiers suspected of involvement. The police then lost the file, necessitating that much of the investigation be redone.
The DPP ultimately charged eight RFMF soldiers and one police officer with murder, at which point the RFMF tried to send them abroad on a UN peacekeeping mission.
The attempt was nearly successful, with only a last minute intervention resulting in the accused being asked to de-board a UN chartered airplane at the airport. Following trial, all nine were convicted of manslaughter and assault occasioning actual bodily harm on March 17, 2009 and sentenced to four years, imprisonment.
The following RFMF soldiers based at the RFMF,s Black Rock Base in Nadi in February 2007 were convicted: (1) Taione Lua; (2) Ulaiasi Radike; (3) Etonia Nadura; (4) Ratunaisa Toutou; (5) Joeli Lesavua; (6) Jona Nareki; (7) Laisa Kurimavua (8) Napolioni Naulia Patrick Nayacalagilagi, a police officer at the Namaka Police Station in February 2007, was also convicted.
