Public Employees in Solomon Islands apply for march permission

10:59 am on 23 June 2008

The Solomon Islands Public Employees Union are planning a civil protest march this week.

The SIPEU General Secretary, Paul Belande, described the proposed march as an opportunity to hold a general protest, rather than make specific demands.

However the Commissioner of Police is yet to make a decision over whether to allow the demonstration.
