I have evidence of injuries and deaths that were a result of people receiving the COVID-19 vaccine.
This is what Nanise Vucago told the High Court in Suva on Thursday, December 16 while representing herself in the hearing of her constitutional redress case before Chief Justice Kamal Kumar.
Earlier this year, the former Fiji National University lecturer was charged with five counts of malicious acts for allegedly condemning the COVID-19 vaccine and creating public alarm and anxiety through live videos posted on her Facebook page.
She filed a constitutional redress case against the Commissioner of Police, Minister and permanent secretary of the Ministry of Health, Minister for Employment and the Attorney-General, seeking the withdrawal of the charges against her.
She also sought an order annulling COVID-19 vaccination mandates, the annulment of the Safety at Work (General Workplace Conditions) (Amendment) Regulations 2021 for being in violation of the Constitution and a declaration that her rights under the Constitution were breached.
Ms Vucago said the COVID-19 pandemic was a public health emergency and the case could not be allowed to drag on.
She also said she was concerned that the A-G’s office had not responded to two of her affidavits, however, she was reprimanded by the Chief Justice as the court records showed that the A-G’s office had not responded to only one of her affidavits.
The A-G’s office sought 14 days to get instructions from all of the respondents in the matter before responding to Ms Vucago’s affidavit. They have been given until December 31 to do so.
The matter was adjourned and will be called again on March 16 next year.
