Mara will not be allowed in Solomons-Philip

The Prime Minister of Solomon Islands, Danny Philip, says he will not grant entry to Ratu Tevita Mara if he attempts to visit because they will stick to their current policy.

Ratu Tevita, who faces charges of sedition in Fiji, is in Australia and says he is planning to travel around the Pacific.

Philip told Australia Network he cannot afford to damage Solomon Island's relationship with Fiji.
