ATTACK ON FIJIAN TRADE UNIONS CONTINUE!

Fiji's military regime could be out to make an example of the Air Pacific pilot accused of leaking information to Coupfourpointfive.

Thirty seven year old Shalend Scott was taken into custody last Tuesday night and has appeared in court, charged with cyber crimes or hacking, under the Crimes Decree.

Reliable insiders say, though, that Fiji's police commissioner, Director of CID and illegal attorney general, Aiyaz Sayed Khaiyum, have held talks about charging him with treason for spying on the regime.

The charge of treason carries a life sentence and insiders say Air Pacific CEO, David Pflieger, is urging Khaiyum to make an example of Scott.

Scott, an Australian national and the secretary of the Fiji Airlines Pilot Association, is accused of providing the documents that led to C4.5 revealing Pflieger paid a New York law firm almost US$24,000 to draft the controversial Essential National Industries decree.

Pflieger's direct involvement in the decree (he not only initiated it but paid for it to be drafted), reveal Air Pacific (46% owned by Australia's Qantas) has been working hand in glove with the regime to crush workers and cheat them of their rights. The Decree effectively outlaws Trade Unions.
