Commodore Frank Bainimarama (L), Fiji's military Chief, walks with Joe Brown (R), former President Ratu Mara's private secretary, out of a meeting with coup leader George Speight and his legal advisors in Suva June 22. Speight said talks are continuing well, and that a resolution and the release of the 31 hostages, including deposed ethnic-Indian Prime Minister Mahendra Chaudhry and many members of his former Fiji Labor Party government, will depend on the signing of documents regarding the appointment of the civilian interim government.
