Warning against Draft Bill turning Fiji into police state

From , 6:02 am on 12 March 2021

One of the main concerns is that the proposed legislation will give police greater surveillance powers if passed in Parliament.

The draft legislation, which is to replace the Police Act of 1965, is now open to public submissions.
