The former head of Fiji's land forces has applied for a protection visa to stay in Australia, and says he would not be welcome back in his own country.
Colonel Jone Baledrokadroka's application is being considered by the Australian Government.
He is a visiting fellow at the Australian National University in Canberra, where expelled Fiji-born academic Professor Brij Lal also works.
The colonel says Professor Lal, a colleague, is "quite well known to be a critic of Bainimarama and a critic of all coups back to Rabuka".
