Police have since released several leaders of the opposition who were arrested late Sunday.
One of those arretsed, the National Federation Party leader Professor Biman Prasad, said he was wanted in relation to his party s criticism of government moves to amend the iTaukei Land Trust Act in parliament in recent days.
After two hours of questioning, he was later released, telling RNZ Pacific today that it felt like an attack on Fiji s democracy. We don t blame the police. This is coming from the government. They are using police to oppress the opposition s political leaders, and that s not the way democracy works.
