Fiji deports second newspaper publisher
Fiji's military government defied a High Court order and deported the Australian publisher of the South Pacific country's leading newspaper Friday, continuing a campaign of media intimidation it began within days of seizing power. The coup-installed government said Fiji Times publisher Evan Hannah was a threat to national security who breached his work permit conditions. He was put on a Korean Air flight Friday to the South Korean capital, Seoul. It was the second deportation of a senior media figure this year. In late February, Russell Hunter, the Australian-born publisher of The Sun, was deported for what Prime Minister Frank Bainimarama called ‘destabilizing’ reporting. (AP via ABC News)
