THE lifting of emergency regulations in Fiji appears to have been little more than an international publicity exercise, critics say.

Laws created at the same time give the regime sweeping new powers of arrest, detention and repression, which they say are a clear breach of human rights.

While the military government has said the new laws are to ensure the people can debate their future ''without being threatened'' by dangerous elements, critics have told the Herald the laws enshrine - in some cases enhance - the controversial emergency regulations into law.

The laws are amendments to a 40-year-old public order act and were enacted on Friday - 24 hours before Voreqe ''Frank'' Bainimarama ended the public emergency regulations, which have banned public meetings and censored the media since 2009. The amendments allow people to be arrested without warrant and held for 14 days without access to the courts, if they are suspected of offences against ''public safety or preservation of the peace''.
