'We didn't get a fair trial'

Abstract

'Despite the fact that we were given an opportunity to address the [Tongan] Parliament and our [Moala and Akau'ola] legal representive was permitted to pose questions relating to the legality of the proceeding, I already felt that we would be found guilty, based on the statements and arguments made by the members of Parliament.'
