I'm John Batchel with my colleague, Cleo Pascal, the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies,

where watching Solomon's be battered by the Chinese Communist Party, its money, its influence agents,

and they mean to end the lives of people in their way if that is required.

They tried to cut off Sudiani from medical help, but now they're using what is known

generally a rest of the world as lawfare.

How so, Cleo, what are they up to?

So they arrested the police in the Solomon's arrested

Sudani and Tala Filu for unlawful assembly. Related to the events, if you remember when I

mentioned all those people physically putting themselves in front of the parliament so that

the vote of no confidence couldn't be lodged. It was a very odd thing. Initially, they

wouldn't even show them the charges.

It was just odd.

And there were three cases of it that they were charged with.

The first one happened while they were in Taiwan.

They were charged with the unlawful assembly while they were in Taiwan.

So that case was dropped. Now they have two. One of them

is for a time when they were in quarantine after coming back from Taiwan. And remember, this is while

he was premier of the province. So it's unclear how a premier himself could be involved in an unlawful

assigne. The whole case is odd.

But it's bankrupting them.

It's affecting their reputation internationally

because it gives leverage to pro-Chinese media to denigrate them.
