Manoa Malani remains in police custody after a protest at his Suva residence

Manoa Malani remains in police custody after a protest at his Suva residence

Manoa Malani is still in police custody after he was seen protesting with his wife Veronica Malani and a few others against the Acting Prime Minister Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum yesterday at their residence in Flagstaff.

Veronica Malani says she has been advised by their lawyer that police will be interviewing her husband today.

Malani told fijivillage they did the protest because their permit application for a march from Government House to Albert Park yesterday was declined by Police.

In their application, the Malani family had said that it was a march for protest against Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum.

Malani says they then decided to do a protest in their compound yesterday morning.

She says straight after that, a van, 2 twin cabs and another vehicle full of police officers arrived and told her husband that they were going to take him in.

We are still awaiting confirmation from Police on why he was taken in and the next course of action.

Meanwhile, the Director of Public Prosecutions had earlier decided that no charges will be laid against Sayed-Khaiyum after Veronica Malani alleged that he was involved in two bombing incidents in 1987.
