Fijian Police have confirmed the arrest of former surgeon Doctor Jone Hawea from his Lautoka home last night.

Police spokesperson Ana Naisoro said Dr Hawea was taken in for police interrogation on allegations of allegedly sharing misinformation about COVID-19.

“We confirm the arrest of Dr Hawea by our officers last night,” Ms Naisoro said.

“He is currently being questioned at the CID Headquarters in Suva.”

Dr Hawea was arrested in Lautoka and transported to Suva last night by police officers.

His lawyer Aman Ravindra-Singh had said he could not access his client because the arrest was conducted during curfew hours.
