Unionists Daniel Urai and Dinesh Gounder appeared at the Nadi Magistrates Court this afternoon charged with unlawful assembly.
The two were arrested by police for conducting a union meeting without a permit as required in the Public Emergency Regulations (PER). Ministry of Information permanent secretary Sharon Smith-Johns in a statement said it is clear these unionists failed to gather support from union members overseas and are now targeting local union members in an attempt to undermine government reforms. “We would like to remind members of the public that the PER is still in force and should be observed,” she said. “The law is clear in this regard and it’s a simple process of applying for a permit.” The two have been released on bail and will re-appear in court on September 2.
