The trial of the General Secretary of the National Workers Union, Felix Anthony has been vacated to another date.
The trial was supposed to start today however, the prosecution informed the court that some key witnesses were abroad.
Anthony’s lawyer Filimoni Vosarogo told the Magistrate that they agree with the application to vacate the trial.
It is alleged that Anthony spread by word of mouth false news relating to the expiry of Water Authority of Fiji worker contracts to Fiji Times reporter Felix Chaudhry which tended to create or foster public anxiety.
The alleged incident happened in 2019.
