Richard Naidu is an Indo-Fijian journalist, constitutional lawyer and opponent of the 2006 Fijian coup d'état. He is a former director of Transparency International Fiji.[1]
Naidu served as spokesperson for Prime Minister of Fiji Timoci Bavadra.[2] During the 1987 Fijian coups d'état he was beaten by iTaukei militants[3][4] and his home was burned by arsonists.[5] He was later deported to New Zealand by the military regime.[6] While in exile in New Zealand he studied for a law degree at the University of Auckland.[6][7] After working as a lawyer in New Zealand, he returned to Fiji in 1995.[7]
He was an opponent of the Qarase government's Reconciliation, Tolerance, and Unity Bill, calling it unconstitutional.[8] During the 2005–2006 Fijian political crisis he argued that the elected government had the power to sack Republic of Fiji Military Forces Commander Frank Bainimarama,[9] and that the President of Fiji must follow the advice of the elected government.[10]
