LATEST FIJI NEWS 131
The military have again detained Rev Manasa Lasaro last night. Information received is that at 11pm a convoy of 3 cars with military personnel arrived at Rev Lasaro’s Nawanawa home and took him away. They also took Rev Tomasi Kanailagi and the Church General Secretary Rev Tuikilakila Waqairatu at 10pm last night both of whom were at the Epworth Hall in Suva. All are reported to be at the military headquarters.
Meanwhile, Commissioner of Police Esala Teleni is due to meet the Church executives at Epworth Hall at 10am this morning. Information received alleges that Teleni is claiming ignorance of any knowledge or authorization of the detention of senior Ministers of the Church. Could this signify a split between the Police and military?

Bainimarama Refuses Church Counsel
LATEST FIJINEWS 7
Sources close to the President of the All Nation Church have revealed that the tin-pot dictator Bainimarama had called recently on Rev Ratabacaca for spiritual guidance. The message which God had revealed and which Rev Ratabacaca had conveyed the tin-pot dictator was more or less the same as given to dictator Bainimarama by the Methodist Church: That he had done wrong by the nation of Fiji and its people by disregarding the rule of law, the ruling of the Appeals Court, in trashing the Constitution and in removing the basic rights and freedom of the people and by causing so much poverty and hardship. Rev Ratabacaca had conveyed the advice to the tin-pot dictator that he humble himself, seek forgiveness and reconciliation and hand power to elected representatives of the people at the earliest opportunity. It is believed that the tin-pot dictator had spurned Rev Ratabacaca’s counsel.
Meanwhile, in a move designed to salvage, in a roundabout way the fast eroding support of the Christian community in Bainimarama’s illegal regime, Bainimarama’s elder brother Meli Bainimarama, Permanent Secretary for Fijian Affairs, had this morning sent a telephone message to the President of the Methodist Church Rev Ame Tugaue asking that he call on him for a meeting. The two are currently meeting at Meli Bainimarama’s Office. The Methodist Church supported by other churches and Christian organizations, are currently fasting and are in a prayer vigil for the whole month of June following which, it is hoped that with God’s guidance, a decision will be taken on the Bainimarama junta’s refusal to allow the holding of the Rewa 2009 Conference of the Methodist Church.
