Five men appeared in the Suva Magistrates Court yesterday charged with writing seditious comments in public places earlier this year.
It is alleged that Jagath Karunaratne, Mosese Bulitavu, Eroni Takape, Usaia Koroi and Waisale Daganayasi, between the 21st and 27th of August this year, conspired to do an act, mainly writing of seditious words in public places and billboards along the Nausori and Suva roads, with a seditious intention and thereby purported to bring into hatred or contempt or to excite dissatisfaction against the Government of Fiji.
The five have pleaded not guilty to the charges before Magistrate Usaia Ratuvili.
Their bail has been refused and the five have been remanded in custody.
They will reappear in court on the 21st of this month.
