RABUKA AND KALOUNIWAI: A Tale of Two MAJOR-GENERALS IN FIJI: One Self-Annointed after the 1987 Coups and other rising through the RANKS to become Major-General. One Mutiny Suspect. Other: VICTIM

5/10/2021

 

Fijileaks: Sullied Celebration. Bainimarama should have kept his fingers off the medal ceremony, for MILITARY ultimate arbiter of national security after the 2022 general election and must be seen as neutral body

In October 1988, RABUKA had promoted himself to MAJOR-GENERAL, which was probably as close to GOD as he dared to place himself

"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; not long afterwards he got himself IMMUNITY and promoted himself from a Third-Ranking army officer to MAJOR-GENERAL Sitiveni Ligamamada Rabuka

ALL that glitters is to FOOL

The Australian lawyer MARK  TEDESCHI who prosecuted Rabuka in 2006:
"By a majority of four to one, they recommended that Rabuka be convicted on the second charge (the conversation with Seruvakula during the mutiny). When Justice Winter retired to consider his verdicts, it never seriously occurred to me that he might depart from the recommendations of the Assessors. The five Assessors came from a broad spectrum of the Fijian community as a whole and I was of the view that it was highly unlikely that an expatriate New Zealander who had only been a local judge for a little over 18 months would depart from the views of these representatives of the community. However, when Justice Winter returned about an hour later, he announced the acquittal of Rabuka on both charges. As required by law, he provided his reasons.
He stated that he was of the view that the prosecution had failed to prove its case on either count beyond a reasonable doubt."
Fijileaks: We were informed by our reliable judicial sources that if Frank Bainimarama had waited with his 5 December 2006 COUP until after the case, Justice Winters might have come to a different conclusion. As we know, both Justice Winters and Fiji Court of Appeal Judge Gordon Ward left Fiji as a protest to the 2006 Coup.
