Rights groups call for Fiji to investigate alleged prison beatings and culture of intimidation
Commissioner of corrections should be held accountable if reports of inhumane treatment prove correct, say rights advocates
International human rights groups have called on Fiji to launch an independent investigation into the commissioner of corrections, Francis Kean, after allegations from former officers that he routinely ordered the beating and mistreatment of prisoners.
The reports, published in the Guardian on Saturday, are based on detailed accounts from four former officers who have since come to Australia and claimed asylum.
