For the second time Fiji's High Court has denied bail for the 11 accused of the assassination plot against the interim prime minister and cabinet members. The reasons given today by Justice Gounder for denying bail are similar to those of Justice John Semisi's reasons for turning down the original bail application. Fiji lawyer Tevita Fa plans to reapply for bail for his client in a couple of weeks time.
