“ FIJI'AN MEDIA STILL UNDER DICTATORSHIP...since Fiji signed on to the CEDAW treaty in 2002, they must accept the CEDAW's alternative lifestyles of their people. Fijian gays have a right to be insulted if PM Bainimarama showed insensitivity to them as human beings.
Ashwi Raj of Fiji's MIDA is a government bureaucrat who wants journalists to give up their free speech rights. He is a mouthpiece for the Bainimarama's dictatorial Government. He wants the media to publish propaganda for government instead of "reporting what they saw and heard in the news."
Freedom of speech is exactly what it is: Freedom to say, write, sing, or read poetry on any subject we wish. PM Bainimarama is free to say anything he wants, but people are free to agree or disagree with him. And journalists have a right to report what Bainimarama said,
He insulted some people and he needs to apologize to them. ”
