<div dir="ltr"><div>Dear All,<br><br></div>I wish all those who are making tracks to Brazil the very best for the Net Mundial. This is a brief note to say that, Fiji recently promulgated the Electoral Decree. We do not have a Parliament at the moment but will have one after Elections. <br>
<p><strong>Section 63 of the Electoral Decree says any person is
prohibited from communicating political messages by telephone, internet,
email, social media or other electronic means 48 hours before polling
opens.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Violating the decree can result in a 27,000 US dollar fine, or 10 years in jail.</strong></p><p><strong></strong>The Transcripts of the Interview with a journalist or the audio pod can be found here:</p><p> <a href="http://www.radionz.co.nz/international/programmes/datelinepacific/audio/2591849/fiji-constitution-would-trump-any-decree-in-court-lawyer">http://www.radionz.co.nz/international/programmes/datelinepacific/audio/2591849/fiji-constitution-would-trump-any-decree-in-court-lawyer</a> <br>
