A press freedom drama is being played out in Fiji with its military-led regime deporting journalists as it tightens its control on the island's besieged media.
In the latest incident, Australian ABC television journalist and veteran Pacific commentator Sean Dorney was ordered to leave together with a television crew from New Zealand's TV3 network.
The three were detained yesterday after reporting to the ministry of information where they learned that they were to be taken to the airport to be flown home.
