Qarase being questioned for possible Treason

Mr Qarase says he is waiting to be questioned by police over phone calls he made to the Australian and New Zealand prime ministers last year.
The military government claims that during those calls he sought foreign intervention to prevent the coup।

Mr Qarase denies this, saying he was seeking information on foreign aid.
"All I can say is that there is no real basis for their allegations and I think it is a case of the military trying to embarrass me or persecute me or whatever," he said to Australia's national broadcaster, ABC।

Anyone who initiates a foreign invasion can be charged with treason in Fiji and face a maximum sentence of life in prison।
