Dozens of Speight supporters due in Fiji court

10:30 AM

It is another busy day for the Fiji courts, with dozens of George Speight supporters due to go before the judge.

Speight himself may be in court this afternoon, facing unlawful assembly and firearms charges.

However, IRN's reporter in Fiji says the military is keen to process the remaining Speight supporters before putting the man himself in the dock.

There are about 100 people still being held in the police barracks, but the majority of those arrested last week have been released on bail.

Three of Speight's close associates were arrested yesterday, including his brother Jim.
