Police have denied our march permit but Christian zionists gathered outside Parliament, waving the Israeli flag without a permit – NGO Coalition

The NGO Coalition on Human Rights in Fiji confirms Police have denied their permit to march in Suva at 10am today to call for peace, humanitarian aid and an end to the genocide in Gaza.

According to the NGO Coalition, this is due to fears of retaliation.

However, they say that the Christian zionists can openly gather in a public place outside Parliament, waving the Israeli flag without a permit.

The NGO Coalition raised concerns after the group was seen praying and waving the Israeli flag outside parliament at around midnight Tuesday when the country was put under controlled movement due to the approaching cyclone.

The NGO Coalition confirms they are gathering today for a #ThursdaysInBlack vigil at 5.30pm at the Fiji Women’s Crisis Centre compound in Suva to call for a ceasefire now and to stop the genocide.

We have sent questions to the Minister for Home Affairs, Pio Tikoduadua.

Stay with us for developments.
