High Court Judge, Justice Thushara Rajasinghe is currently summing up the Fiji Times sedition case before the three assessors retire behind closed doors to deliberate on their opinions.

Justice Rajasinghe highlighted the evidence presented by both the prosecution and the defence for about one hour and 30 minutes.

He has taken a 20 minutes break before coming back to continue with his summing up. 

Fiji Times Limited Publisher Hank Arts and contributor Josaia Waqabaca have pleaded not guilty to sedition while Editor-in-Chief Fred Wesley and Nai Lalakai Editor Anare Ravula have pleaded not guilty to aiding and abetting sedition.

It is alleged that Fiji Times printed the Nai Lalakai newspaper which contained an article which had content with a seditious intention to promote feelings of ill will and hostility between classes of the population.
