Concerns have been raised by some of Fiji's political and religious leaders that the police may have embraced an evangelical church crusade. Since the start of the year, police commissioner Esala Teleni has been ordering police to take part in the Christian crusade - no matter which religion they follow themselves. The crusade, which is led by the police commissioner's brother, has been taken to the streets of Suva and other towns.
