Excerpt: Fiji Ambassador on Freedom of the Press
“The clampdown on the media in Fiji was really a clampdown on the media becoming extreme in inciting instability and making outrageous statements. We have a comparatively unsophisticated media industry. Our people do not have the experience to be able to say things in a way that conveys what they want to say but keep the language within limits so that it does not incite people or cause people to do silly things.” Ambassador Winston Thompson (6/29/12)
