The Law Council of Australia (LCA) has slammed Fiji's interim Government for interfering with the right to practise religion freely and openly.
LCA president Alexander Ward said it was imperative that the interim Government recognise the rights of its citizens to practise religion freely.
"The suppression of religious meetings raises a rule of law issue and specifically breaches Article 18 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights which guarantees freedom of religion," said Ward.
"We understand the current political climate in Fiji is delicate, but the Law Council appeals to the interim Government to respect the rights of its citizens, quash the directive and restore full rights to freedom of religion."
