Unionists charged with unlawful assembly



UNION GOONS should have known better! One left to arrive from Australia!

The Fiji Police Force has confirmed that unionists Mr Daniel Urai  and a Dinesh Gounder appeared 
before the Nadi Magistrate Court at 1.30pm today charged with unlawful assembly.

They have been released on
 bail and will  re-appear in court on September 2, 2011.

According to the police, the duo were conducting a union meeting without a permit as required under the Public Emergency Regulations or PER.

Ministry of Information permanent secretary Ms Sharon Smith-Johns said that it
 was clear these unionists  failed to gather support from union members overseas and were 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,” Ms Smith-Johns said.

“The law is clear in this regard and it’s a simple process of applying for a permit.”
