Fiji NGOs have taken their protest against the Qarase government's Reconciliation and Unity Bill to the New Zealand prime minister, Helen Clark.
Fiji TV reports that the NGOs have written to Ms Clark ahead of her meeting with Laisenia Qarase on Saturday during which he will brief her on the Bill.
The Fiji Institute of Accountants and the newly-formed Fiji Citizens Movement Against the Bill have confirmed they've handed their protest letters to the New Zealand High Commission in Suva for delivery to Ms Clark.
Angie Heffernan of Citizens Against the Bill says it's important that Australia and New Zealand become involved in the progress of the Bill through the Fiji parliament.
She says the Bill's no longer a domestic issue because it has implications for the stability and security of the broader Pacific.
Ms Heffernan says the concern is that if regional leaders see Fiji getting away with the Bill, they'll have reason to believe they can do likewise.
The Bill will fast track amnesty for coup convicts like George Speight, erase their criminal records, give immunity to those not yet prosecuted and can ask the courts to suspend proceedings against those facing charges.
