We urgently look to your support to call off the Fiji/Canada rugby match
to be held in Samoa tomorrow (24th June) and the Fiji/ United States
match on the 1st of July.
These matches are part of the EPSON sponsored tournament (which is a
global computer accessories company).
As the advocate of human rights pease support.
Inform EPSON that failure to respond positively immediately there will be
a sustained campaign to boycott EPSON products worldwide.
This message will also have a demonstrable impact on other companies
choosing to do business with Fiji Military or any interim government.
As the advocates of the Movement for Democracy in Fiji, representing
Fijians, keeping in mind the many who have been the victims of beating,
looting, houses burnt and finally due to unbetold terrorism displaced in
Fiji and globally, we call upon you to join the international community in
helping us to ask EPSON announce an immediate sporting ban on official
Fiji Islands teams and individuals.
A Fiji Islands rugby team is participating in the EPSON Cup tournament now
underway.
We seek your help to ask EPSON take action to suspend Fiji from that
tournament. Failing that, please ask that they
withdraw sponsorship of that tournament .
The most immediate contact between Fiji and Canada is the rugby match
between Fiji and Canada to be held on the 24th of June. The match between
the US and Fiji will be held on the 1st of July.
Both these matches will be played in Apia, Western Samoa.
Please tell them that the Governments of New Zealand and Australia have
already approved sporting bans. They took this decision at the request of
the Peoples Coalition Government which has called for activating smart
sanctions to support the restoration of the 1997 Constitution of Fiji
Islands and elected Peoples Coalition Government.
We would appreciate your most urgent attention to this request.
We look forward to your utmost cooperation in this matter. This will
assist in isolating the military dictatorship that is now in effective
control of government and in securing through coordinated international
pressure (of which sporting isolation is an important part) the release of
the democratically elected Government and its Prime Minister.
