Former Prime Minister Voreqe Bainimarama has been granted early release as of today, in accordance with Section 46 (3) of the Corrections Act. This decision was made following a thorough review of his application by the Fiji Corrections Service, which adhered to the legal provisions that govern early release and supervised reintegration.
Under Section 46 (3) of the Corrections Act, inmates may be granted early release if they meet specific criteria aimed at safeguarding community security while assisting in their reintegration. The Fiji Corrections Service confirmed that they meticulously evaluated the criteria for eligibility, the conditions associated with release, and the necessary supervisory measures to comply with established regulations.
The Fiji Corrections Service will continue to monitor Bainimarama’s reintegration process to ensure he adheres to all conditions tied to his early release.
This development may provide hope for reform and rehabilitation, highlighting the importance of reintegration programs that support individuals returning to society. Additionally, it underscores the legal framework in place designed to balance community safety with opportunities for personal growth and reformation.
