No gay marriages in Fiji

Thursday, March 11, 2010

The Acting DPP, Aca Rayawa has clarified that the new Crimes Decree does not allow for gay marriages in the country.

Rayawa made the statement after Communication Fiji Limited’s Viti FM station ran a talk back show last week stating that the new Crimes Decree had approved gay marriages.

Rayawa says this is a total lie, and the public is being misled.

Ministry of Information Permanent Secretary Lieutenant Colonel Neumi Leweni says the station breached the Public Emergency Regulations and has referred the matter to the Police.

Leweni says the Viti FM talk back show was irresponsible and caused a lot of unnecessary confusion.

Leweni warned media outlets the PER is still in place and they’re monitoring all news items being produced.

After the talk-back show Leweni wrote to broadcast media organizations directing that all talk-back show topics will have to be made known to the Ministry of Information, a week before they go on air.
