On March 21 1978, The Fiji Times ran a story about former unionist and parliamentarian Apisai Tora who was released from jail after being granted bail of $500 by the Fiji Court of Appeal.
Mr Tora was serving a 12-month prison term imposed by the Lautoka Magistrates Court in October 1977 after being convicted of violating the sugar industry ordinance.
The Fiji Court of Appeal sat in Suva and granted Mr Tora bail, pending the hearing of an appeal against his conviction by the same court.
An appeal against his conviction was dismissed by the Supreme Court in Lautoka in December 1977. Bail applications were also refused by the magistrates court and the Supreme Court.
