Soldiers attack photojournalistPosted Feb 25 2007
Fiji Times photographer, Sitiveni Moce, was reportedly attacked and detained by soldiers after Moce took photos of an apparent military arrest of an unidentified person outside Centenary Church in Suva. Witnesses were said to have seen soldiers hit and kick Moce and then take him away, according to an International Federation of Journalists report. After he was released from Nabua military camps, Moce sought hospital treatment.
IFJ said military harassment and censorship have risen in past months in Fiji since last year’s coup d’etat and called for a full investigation into the incident.
