Fiji Lawyers Should Protest

Lawyers in Pakistan have been protesting against their tyranical military government for suspending their Chief Justice.

Forms of protest have included public protests, marches and wearing of black arm bands to court.

Perhaps the lawyers in Fiji should seriously consider following their Pakistani counterparts and do something like this...

And this..

Or maybe even this...

And if they're really determined, this...

Or this...


But they could end up like this...

Or worse, this...

But at least we can see how far lawyers in Pakistan are willing to go to protect their Chief Justice and the integrity of their legal system.

So how about it Fiji Law Society?

How far are you willing to go for your suspended Chief Justice?

At least now we know that compared to the Pakistani Law Society, the reaction by the FLS to the unjustifed and unlawful suspension of the Chief Justice is really mediocre.

Court action is fine but more needs to be done.

Maybe its because the Pakistani lawyers are just more passionate about the law and justice than their Fijian counterparts.
