Lawyers representing the 10 accused in the assassination plot against Fiji's interim prime minister, Commodore Frank Bainimarama, have filed papers to the court to have the case dismissed. Peter Williams QC, acting for Ballu Khan, says the application for a permanent stay is based on abuse of process. The alleged assassination plot was against interim prime minister Frank Bainimarama, interim attorney-general Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum and several senior public servants. Mr Williams believes the case against his client is "bereft of merit".
