Alleged beating of Tongan Seasonal Worker ‘very pitiful and must be investigated’, says Minister

Saulala said the safety of Tongans is paramount and priority when they are away from their families and working overseas.

“It is very pitiful, and it must be investigated”, the Minister told Kaniva News.

The Minister was responding after Kaniva News reported photos of injuries and serious bruises consistent with somebody being beaten.

The photos show a man with what appeared to be his hands, wrists and arms bruised, cut and swollen.
