Legal proceedings against a Fijian Paramount Chief over a banned church conference have been deferred for 21 days. Ro Teimumu Kepa has been charged in relation to a statement released on the internet supporting the holding of the Methodist Church conference in her village of Lomanikoro, in Rewa, just outside Suva. Ro Teimumu's lawyer says his client is bearing up well, but the conditions of her bail mean she can't talk about the case.
