Seven people appeared in a special sitting in the Suva Magistrates Court today for breaching curfew and social gathering restrictions.
Two 42-year-old men who allegedly breached the curfew hours have been granted bail.
Inia Cama Ledua and Nemani Biu were drinking liquor along a road in Suva during curfew hours last night.
Magistrate Joseph Daurewa has granted them bail with one surety each and $500 bond.
They have also been told to visit the Totogo Police Station every Saturday from 10am to 3pm.
Magistrate Daurewa also told the two men that they should not change their address and if they do so then they should get the approval from the court.
The case has been adjourned to 3rd June. Five people who allegedly breached social gathering restrictions have also been granted bail.
It is alleged that Timea Burenatau,Teweru Uriam, Benioni Malakito, Bataba Apisalome and Maere Banian were sharing food at Bidesi Park in Suva yesterday.
The defence lawyer objected to the charges as his clients had told him two of them were standing outside a car eating while 3 of them were inside the car.
Their lawyer also objected to the interview done on Friday where there was no interpreter present and some technical terms were used.
Magistrate Daurewa told the prosecution to provide the video in their next hearing and it should be typed out clearly.
The five people have been released on a bail bond of $500 each.
The case will be called again on 5th June.
