Tevita Malasebe

Posted by Oceania Correspondent

Tevita Malasebe died while questioned by police officers in relations to a series of violent robberies in Suva and Nausori earlier this week.

The Acting Commissioner of Police has stated the 8 persons of interest have bee identified.

All those of us who believe in justice look forward to a fair inquiry to determine what the facts are. The incompetent journalists that we have have too often fed the Fiji Islanders half truths and biased news.

Was Malasebe involved in an organised crime gang? Was he resisiting arrest and as a result a scuffle ensued and he sustained injuries? Could more adequate medical care have been provided?

What we need is the truth and impartial account of what happened.

No one should ever die in the custody of those whose duty is to protect and serve.

No matter which side of politics you are on, all reasonable Fijians will condemn the actions of those that led to the death of Tevita Malasebe.

Ricardo Morris - Explained

As Chief Editor, I feel a clarification is necessary.

One of our contributors, LoyalFijian had revealed the faces behind the HATE Blogs in an email sent to several people.

The email had simply stated that the person behind intelligenstiya.com was Ricardo Morris.

This is CORRECT as Mr Morris in his reply acknowledged:

yes I own the domain name intelligentsiya.com -there's nothing up there at the moment.

There was no reference to any other blog. Whether Mr Morris is actively involved in the HATE blogs or not, is not an issue for us. Whether Mr Morris has been extending moral or technical support to the de-stabilisation campaign is for likes of Inspector Nasir Ali to find out.

WE REPORT THE FACTS.

This news blog will only publish news items after verification for truth and accuracy.

Readers will find that to be a nice change from the half truths available on some other HATE blogs.

And a big Vinaka vaka levu to all of you who have written in, literally hundreds of you.

Propaganda withdrawn after truth exposed by LoyalFijian

The group behind the false report that a Fiji Islander had died in Vanua Levu after being beaten by the FMF, today withdrew its claims.

The group, was reporting on its blog that an individual had died after being beaten by soldiers in Vanua Levu.

The false and misleading information was intended to create confusion and influence Fiji Islanders opinions against the FMF. It is to be noted that this false report came soon after the unfortunate and tragic death of the young man Rabaka in the Western Division.

The group which (thinks it)is hiding behind anonymous blogs has now taken to popular website Fiji Village Forum to spread its propaganda. Under handles of FijianBlack, Boozawe, Keep-The-Faith and Dan the Man, anti-FMF and anti-Interim Government claims are being perpetuated.

It has been speculated in Fiji Media that these are Fiji journalists who have an axe to grind with the military over its handling of the so-called Democracy Movement based outside Suva in Lami.
