The President of the Fiji Trades Union Congress, Daniel Urai is now on his way to China after his departure was delayed by border police who were unaware of a court order that he is allowed to travel.
Permanent Secretary for Information, Sharon Smith-Johns said the government regrets any inconvenience caused.
Earlier today:
The President of the Fiji Trades Union Congress, Daniel Urai said he was not allowed to board a flight to China this morning despite having court documents allowing him to travel to a meeting in China and Malaysia.
Urai said he was cleared by the Immigration Department but he ended up at the Border Police office.
Urai said after some discussions he was allowed to fly but it was too late.
Urai is hoping to attend the International Labour Organization meeting in China and another union meeting in Malaysia.
He is facing charges relating to urging political violence and was allowed to travel out of the country by the Suva Magistrates Court yesterday.
