Pacific colleagues call for justice

Post-Courier business editor Rosalyn Albaniel Evara reportedly passed away on Sunday October 15 after complaining of head pains.

But information and a testimony given by an outraged relative during her funeral service in Port Moresby on Monday, October 23, revealed a pattern of marital abuse inflicted on the 41-year-old mother.

“We welcome a move by police to halt the burial of our colleague and an order seeking a post-mortem be carried out,” says Pacific Freedom Forum Chair, Monica Miller.

Tonga sentences Georgians over fake documents

Justice Charles Cato gave each of the six a two-year suspended sentence and required them to depart Tonga within 14 days.

The six arrived in the country a month after travelling through Dubai, Vietnam and Fiji with the aim of reaching New Zealand.

They pleaded guilty to the charges.

Radio Tonga reports that Justice Cato told the Georgians, "Tonga is not a jumping off board."
