Amnesty calls out ongoing human rights abuse in Fiji

From , 4:02 pm on 28 March 2019

Amnesty International says Fiji's leaders are ignoring their appeals to tackle what they call, "the country's severe human rights failings."

This is despite Fiji's accession to vice-presidency of the UN Human Rights Council.

Amnesty's Pacific researcher says their six-point human rights agenda was put forward ahead of last November's election to highlight priority areas for an incoming government's attention.

Roshika Deo says Amnesty's current review shows none have been implemented.
