Gay rights activists in Suva are angry at Fijian police for canceling a gay pride march.
The police reportedly said they were unaware that the march had been organised to advocate gay rights until just before it was scheduled to begin.
But Oceania Pride founder Jasmine Kaur has told the Australia Network she properly notified police about the rally.
“We got all the permits that were necessary, we got the permits from the police department as well as some from the city council for the use of their roads, we also advertised the closure of the roads in the newspaper,” she said.
“So everything from our side was done.”
