The newly formed Overseas Movement for Democracy in Fiji is calling on Pacific Island countries to impose travel bans on Fiji's interim Prime Minister, Frank Bainimarama, members of his Government and its supporters and impose full trade and sporting sanctions on the country. The movement had its fiery first meeting in Sydney over the weekend. It also wants to lobby the United Nations to stop Fiji soldiers joining peacekeeping missions.
