Ironically, many of his victims, notably the politicians from 1987 in whose cause the bombings and other civil resistance were carried out, are today in bed with Rabuka, or are sucking up to form political alliances with him. We have argued, and will continue to argue, its Rabuka who laid the foundation for coups. He should be in PRISON or should have been HANGED for TREASON. Instead, he gave himself IMMUNITY. In 1988, when he tried to extradite Mohammed Rafique Kahan who had shipped tons of weapons into Fiji, the British Court refused to extradite Kahan on the grounds that he would not get a free and fair trial in Rabuka's Fiji. Kahan's lawyer told the Court in London that it was quite extraordinary that a TRAITOR pardoned by Ratu Sir Penaia Ganilau, a man who himself had repudiated his oath to the Queen, should be seeking extradition. It was an affront to JUSTICE. Sitiveni Rabuka had deposed the then army commander Ratu Epeli Nailatikau, and later he was sent to London as Fiji's High Commissioner. Later, Nailatikau became Speaker, President and now he is back as Speaker. Kahan was remanded in London's high-secure Brixton Prison awaiting extradition to Fiji. In the Visitor's Book was the name of one of his three visitors - Ratu Epeli Nailatikau. He had visited Kahan not once but three times. Kahan later claimed that first Nailatikau had come to see what he would say, then to dissuade him from talking. We have never come around to verifying the claim.
Fijileaks: Aiyaz Sayed Khaiyum had not gone to the Police to give a statement in the Malani case. He provided a statement on Kishore Kumar who was thinly implying on his Facebook that it was Khaiyum who gave him the so-called porn video. But Kumar kept changing his story.
