I move:

That the Senate—

(a) condemns the apparent torture and inhumane and degrading treatment of detainees in Fiji, as recently reported in an online video; and

(b) calls on the interim Fiji Government to:

(i) publicly condemn the use of torture and uphold international conventions protecting civil and political rights, and

(ii) establish an independent and transparent investigation into the events.

Question agreed to.
