| Abstract: | [Original interview in Fijian - translated into English]. Special Introduction of the Rev Akuila Yabaki to the listeners
BAL: Good evening Rev. Yabaki.
RAY: Good evening Bulou Amalaini.
BAL: We are indeed most grateful to you for agreeing to this interview whereby we can discuss issues regarding current events happening back home at this time so that you can inform us the Fiji people living in Aotearoa who are listening to this programme. As I have already informed you we will be discussing other issues first before we address issues regarding the Methodist Church in Fiji. We believe that the CCF does not agree with Media Censorship whereby freedom of the media is being curtailed and information cannot be transmitted freely around Fiji and also regionally and internationally. What are your views on this?
RAY: The censorship of media means that it is difficult to get national news broadcasted out of Fiji without it being censored by the Regime. We have to find an alternative way of transmitting these information to the outside world particularly when we are depending on the international community to help out in this situation. So we must find a way to get such information across to Aust, NZ and Great Britain and also for the people to exercise their basic human right of freedom of speech or to express an opinion freely. |
