Update: 11.47am INTERIM Prime Minister Commander Voreqe Bainimarama says lawyer Graham Leung could ''go to court if he wanted or he could stowaway...but he is not going anywhere'', according to a news report on Legend FM this morning.
Commander Bainimarama questioned why lawyers were defending their own rights and not the rights of those banned from going to Australia and New Zealand, like members of the interim regime.
In a similar statement carried by local media, interim Attorney-General Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum said lawyers were being selective in standing up for human rights, and that they ought also to be standing up for the rights of those banned from traveling to New Zealand and Australia, including those in the interim regime banned by both countries.
The military regime continues to maintain that the Constitution and the Bill of Rights is still in existence and that all rights and freedoms, including free speech and free movement are guaranteed.
