In an article published in today’s Solomon Star newspaper there is an article alleging that a well known public figure used words threatening violence in Auki in Malaita.
I cannot vouch for the accuracy of the newspaper report or the truth of the allegations but suggest the allegation be looked into for, if the report is true, the individual concerned could, prima-facie, be in breach of section 89 of the Solomon Islands Penal Code relating to the offence of ‘Threatening Violence’ and for such a misdemeanor, if found guilty, liable to imprisonment or one year.
Yours sincerely
Frank Short
