The trial for forgery of three Tongan pro-democracy workers and a newspaper editor is into its second day.
Pro-democracy campaigners, MPs Akilisi Pohiva and Isileli Pulu, and journalist Po'oi Pohiva, are charged with forgery and knowingly dealing with a forged document, while the editor of the Taimi O Tonga newspaper, Mateni Tapueluelu is charged with dealing with a forged document.
Charges against Laucala Pohiva, who works as a journalist at Taimi O Tonga, have been dropped for lack of evidence.
Ms Pohiva says she is happy that she is now free to do her job as a reporter.
"I think I'm satisfied with that decision and I'm glad that I'm out to continue doing the job since Mateni has been busy in court every day........"
